………………I made MY FIRST CHOCOLATE CHEESE CAKE!!!!!! and OMG!!!! it was FANTASTIC!……Now, I have made many many cheese cakes, but they have been either the traditional Graham Cracker crust cheesecake or the OREO Double Dark Chocolate Cookie Crumb crust with my basic batter with mini dark chocolate chips added……….but with this version I melted the chocolate chips with some whole milk in a sauce pan….let it cool and then added it into the batter, and whipped it all up. Then I poured the batter into the spring pan prepared with the Oreo crust, and baked it for one hour. I then left it in the oven for one hour with the door ajar to prevent cracking, but it cracked anyway….not badly but it did crack. Next time I will do the bath and see what happens…..When I was ready to serve it after being in the refrigerator overnight…..I put plain chocolate cookies in my food processor and pulverized them making a fine powder which I dusted the individual servings with…….but I wasn’t done there! Then I put more of the same chocolate cookies in the food processor and made cookie crumbs, and sprinkled them over the powdered surface of the cheese cake….I stored the powdered chocolate, and the chocolate crumbs in two separate containers for future use……Again…………OMG……….it was a huge hit!…..The picture is of the very last piece……..Next I’m going to make a LEMON CHEESE CAKE!
