My family loved this cheesecake. I mixed some blueberries and strawberries together and served them next to the cheesecake. I will use this one often.

It tasted great. Slightly overdone but I am guessing thats the same problem I always have when converting to celcius. Only real problem was the chocolate cooled far too much in the cream cheese and started to harden before it could be fully blended. Although, all my Hubby's work mates said it tasted good too. Tiniest crack - no bath used.

Overall, I really liked the recipe. I only had two problems: I tried the bath method, and even with two layers of foil, the water seeped in and made my crust soggy. Also, my cake didn't have any cracks after baking for 55 min. I did as the recipe says and turned off the oven, and left the cake in to cool but when I checked it after only 30 minutes, it had a huge crack down the middle. I'll definitely make it again but without the bath and the extra hour in the oven.

The taste was pretty good but I would have prefered a slightly more chocolatey taste. Also the cheesecake cracked very badly (I cooked it for the time that it called for) so I recommend that you follow the advice section and give it a water bath while its cooking. I was therefore forced to make a chocolate glaze to cover the crack and I think everyone agreed that the glaze made the cheesecake 10X better. Just melt 1 cup of chocolate chips, 3 tbs of butter, and 2 tbs cornsyrup over boiling water, and spread it over the cake.

If you want to impress your husband's co-workers send this recipe to his work! Easy, delicious and the guys even liked the topping, it helps cut down on the sweetness and gives it more dimension. I used Oreo crumbs for the base and other cookies to make the amount needed and it worked just fine. He even brought a piece home for me!

This is my very first go at a cheesecake so I was quite happy with the results. It wasn't FABULOUS but it was yummy. I didn't have a spring form pan and so baked it in a pie pan and it turned out fine. If you do this there will probably be some left over, so you can make mini cheesecakes like I did. Just place a cracker or cookie in the bottom of custard cups or muffin tins and pour some batter over. Watch how long you cook them though, they don't take long at all. 15-20 minutes at 350. Over all I was pleased but not overly impressed with this recipe. I WOULD recommed it to beginners as it's VERY EASY!

I made this for my in-laws for Valentines day and my Mother in law is in cheese cake heaven. She cant quit talking about how good it is. It is so creamy, it just melts in your mouth. I did not have good quality chocolate and its still great so I cant wait to try it with better chocolate. The sour cream topping is great too.

I asume this was very good. I made it for a church function and it disappeared before I got any. However, I was told that it was excellent. So I guess I will have to make it again so I can try it myself.

Not the best cheesecake I've ever had...but certainly delicious. It's not overly sweet which I liked, but I would have preferred a stronger chocolate flavor. Next time I'll try using an imported chocolate, because Hershey's just didn't cut it. I made a raspberry sauce to go with it. Definitely follow the water bath instructions from the advice section, this was the first time I didn't make a cracked cheesecake.

I would never have guessed that just 1 cup of plain old chocolate chips could give this such a rich flavor. It is a great base recipe as well with a good texture. Next time, I may try fancy dark chocolate instead to see what happens.

I love this recipe, it's super easy. I can suggest 3 variations: 1) Instead of melting the chocolate chips, i stir it into the batter before pouring it into the crust. 2) My favourite thing to do is to make individual servings in 6 ramekins, 1/3 of the recipe makes the right amount, 3) When I don't have graham crackers on hand, i mash up digestive cookies. As well, for humidity I place the ramekins in a baking pan filled with about 1 cm of water... I got this idea from several members who said that otherwise the cheesecake might crack.

Delicious, rich cheesecake that has gotten rave reviews from some pretty tough critics. If you can stretch your budget a wee bit, I strongly recommend using imported chocolate. I've had excellent results with Callebaut. Is incredibly moist and almost mousse-like if you cook for just 50-60 minutes. (If you like it drier, like a typical store-bought one, cook it for 75 minutes, or so.) When you remove it from the oven it is still liquid, but sets-up in the fridge overnight. As others have done, I wrap pan in tinfoil and cook in water bath, but remove it from oven immediately when it is done and after about 5 minutes or so, carefully run a knife along the sides to prevent the cake from adhering and cracking when it cools. I put in fridge when it is lukewarm/cool. Haven't had it crack yet. Top with sugared strawberries.

This cheesecake was good, but not sweet enough for my personal taste. Also, I tried the tip about putting an ice cube in the bottom of my oven and have a suggestion. If you are going to try the ice cube trick, make sure the bottom of your oven is very clean-otherwise you will get smoke!

I thought it was good, but not amazing. One thing to watch for- make sure you don't add the chocolate to the mixture when it is hot- it will curdle in the cream cheese mixture. Mine turned into a "cookies and cream" pie because of that. It tasted good, though. Add chocolate syrup to a slice!

This cheesecake was great, but I definitely have to agree with the reviewer who said to make sure your oven is not hotter than 350. My oven tends to run hot and I ended up with cracks. It still tasted great, however.
