OMG! This is a wonderful cheesecake! The topping makes it. I used splenda and lowfat cream cheese and baked it in a water bath. I sprinkled chopped pecans on top. I will be making this again for New Years Day. Thanks Diane!

This is a very chocolatey cheesecake. Very yummy though and I was even told that it was the best chocolate cheesecake they had ever had. Requires a few extra steps but definitely worth it.

The recipe has been revised to include the addition of the melted butter to the crumb crust. We apologize for any inconvenience.

This would rate a 5, but I improvised and think it was outstanding that way and hard to beat. I used Oreos for the crust and used white and semi-sweet chocolate for the top layer. The marbled effect looked great and the taste was oustanding. Also, if you're not an expert with cheesecakes, the topping hides cracks. It's much easier to cut through with a knife dipped in hot water. Outstanding recipe Diane, thanks.

Holy Chocolate Heaven, Batman! This recipe was amazing. A co-worker brought it to the office yesterday for a birthday celebration and had I not decided to leave for the day, I would still be sitting at the counter slowly finishing that cheesecake off! It was creamy on the inside with so many other great textures with the crust and solid chocolate topping. We also used freshly whipped cream as a complement with fresh strawberries as a garnish. SIMPLY INCREDIBLE.

Though I'm not a big cheesecake fan myself, I made this recipe for my boyfriend and he absolutely loved it. The ganache on top is a wonderful and unique addition. Since I could only find an 8 oz. container of whipping cream, I whipped up the remaining half cup and used it as a garnish. My only complaint is that it was a bit difficult to keep the cookies pressed up against the sides of the pan. To MTTC: the butter gets mixed in with the cookies to hold the crust together.

What is the purpose of the butter? I haven't made it but am willing to try. Does the butter go into the crust or the recipe itself?

I was desperately wanting to make a "homemade" cheesecake...chocolate nonetheless and was suprised when I saw this one. It's exactly like the one in an old Taste of Home issue. It actually ranked as a runner-up in their cheesecake contest so I decided to give it a try. The only alteration I made was to use crushed oreo cookies in place of the wafer crumbs because I didn't have any. Needless to say, this turned out beautifully...and it being my first real cheesecake, I was very proud of myself. Thanks for posting this Diane.

I brought this cake to my church and I got soooo many compliments. If you are looking for a recipe to impress this is it. I did add more cream then recommended to the topping, maybe double the amount, and it turned out great.

This was wonderfully decadent! I made this for my boyfriend to take to his company Thanksgiving lunch and he said he had to fight off his co-workers to get a sliver of it for himself! It was extremely easy, as well. I would turn the oven off and allow the cheesecake to cool gradually in the oven to prevent cracking, but otherwise, a wonderful recipe!

Excellent cheesecake but the topping was too heavy. The next time, I made small cakes using foil cupcake cups and made a chocolate ganache using one ounce semi-sweet choc. to each oz. of heavy cream. Heat cream to just boiling, pour over chocolate til melted, let cool somewhat then pour over individual cheesecakes. Ganache will firm in fridge. Topped each one with strawberry half=dipped in chocolate. Big hit!

This recipe was wonderful. It was actually quite easy to make. It was my first try at any type of cheese cake and it turned out great. In the morning after the cheesecake had been in the frig all night, I melted a bit more of the Chocolate Chips and covered the sides. Everyone in my family enjoyed the cake!

I made this cheesecake for father's day. My hubby loved it. very easy for a first timer. I thinned out the topping a put a thin layer on top and reserved the rest for us to top if we wanted to.

I have never made a cheesecake before in my life and decided to give this one a try for my husband's birthday. It was easy enough to make (for a first-timer) and the end result was fabulous! I received rave reviews from friends and family (all chocolate lovers)! My only suggestion would be to maybe try another type of chocolate icing on top...I was very, very hard after refrigerating it and it made it difficult to eat. (It did taste great though.) You should also note that the recipe doesn't mention that to make the crust you also have to add the 1/4 cup of melted butter to the chocolate crubs and sugar...(I think that part waas overlooked in the recipe.) Otherwise, it was amazing!!!

Very nice recipe and not as difficult to make as I thought. This was my first cheesecake and it turned out great. The chocolate topping got hard and made the cake a bit difficult to cut but I attribute this more to user error.

Great cheesecake! I would cut the topping in half though - it was too thick and weighed down the cheesecake - made it sink. I'd definitely make it again though. Thanks for the recipe!
