Very good. I added more cream to the topping and it was delicious. My family loves it. I didn't bake the crust though, even though I should I have. Still good!

I made this without making any changes to the recipe, and I loved it, as did my entire family. It was dense and moist and creamy--just the way cheesecake should be! None of us found the chocolate topping to be too much, although I can see where it might be too rich for some tastes.

Made it...loved it!! I took the advise of so many others and didn't use as much chocolate chips in the "topping". I garnished my cheesecake with homemade whipped cream and chocolate dipped strawberries (I forgot to take a pic!). It was so delicious. I took it to work and everyone loved it. One coworker even said it was the best chocolate cheesecake her ever had! I will definitely make this again.

This recipe was a great base from which to work. I don't have access to cream cheese (hurdle #1) so I used fromage blanc and mascarpone. I'm cutting back on carbs and sugars (hurdle #2) and used agave syrup instead of sugar and for the crust mixed oatmeal, ground almonds, splenda and butter. I didn't use the topping but otherwise followed instructions and it was DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!! Curbed my chocolate cheesecake craving while sticking to a lower carb diet. Also, since its rich a small 2" square satisfied me.

Awsome cheesecake. I made just a small amount of the topping and drizzled instead of pouring on, and I used the rest to dip strawberrys for the top of cake. Also I used graham cracker crust... but will use cookies next time.

This was a huge hit for the chocolate lovers. My husband was very pleased. I'm not a chocolate lover, but did enjoy this cheesecake. Changes I made: I halved the chocolate for the ganache. I used Ghiradelli dark chocolate. I also topped with homemade strawberry preserves (pureed) and homemade whipping cream.

Outstanding!! As per some of the other reviewers' suggestions, I lightened up the ganache topping by using double the amount of whipping cream the recipe called for. Other than this change, which made for very easy slicing, I made this recipe exactly as written, and it turned out to be the best chocolate cheesecake I've ever tasted, let alone made. My husband is typically not a dessert eater, and he requested two pieces, one right after the other. Thanks for this wonderful recipe!
