Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe Needed

[jodistrauss]

Does anyone have a fabulous recipe for a chocolate cheesecake?

i would try allrecipies.com or foodnetwork.com (this one has an awesome chocolate swirled cheesecake)

Sorry i don't have one for chocolate...i tend to stay away from those...if you have any lumps in your cream cheese it will be seen.

The trick to getting the lumps out of the cream cheese when you're making cheesecake is to soften it by leaving it on the counter for at least an hour or microwaving on low for 30 seconds to 1 minute and then beating just the cream cheese on low for several minutes before adding any other ingredients. Once you add anything wet, the lumps that are there will stay there.

That's what I do....I'm just paranoid that if I do chocolate this will be the one time I have lumps.

It's just cheesecake, not rocket science!

Sorry- I do know how it is to be worried about not looking professional. However, I view the little lumps in a cheesecake as evidence that it was lovingly homemade, not manufactured in some heartless factory.
