I made this for the first time for neighborhood cook-off and won first place ribbon among all desserts. I followed the recipe exactly and it came out perfectly. I grated semi sweet chocolate bakers bars on a cheese grater to garnish over the chocolate ganache. For the crust, I used chocolate sandwich cookies with chocolate filling, but used only the cookie part for the crust along with the brown sugar and butter. For the filling, I quartered the whole cookies to layer in. The sour cream layer adds a perfect counter to all the sweetness. At least a dozen people asked for the recipe.

I made this for my Husbands Birthday, he LOVES cheesecake!!! I didn't have the right kind of pan so I used a ready made cookie crust and changed the recipe for fewer servings. The only problem I had was the chocolate was so runny that I couldn't drizzle it, I ended up making it a thin layer on top with cookies as the border. I definitely will make this again!! Thanks

This cheesecake is fabulous w/o changing a thing! I entered this cake in a dessert bake-off at my office and won first place! :) I found it to be quite time consuming, but it's worth the effort.

I made this for my sister and although I have no idea what it ended up tasting like, she said it was great. I give it five stars for that reason. I had trouble getting the sour cream layer on because there just wasn't any room and most of it ended up going to the center. I would recommend a 10 inch springform (I used a 9) and maybe cut the sour cream mixer in half. Also, I used chocolate Teddy Grahams for the crust and in the cake itself.

This cheesecake was SO rich and delicious. It was very time consuming, but well worth it. Next time, I will make a few changes however. I won't add nearly as much cinnamon. Maybe only as little as 1/4 a tsp. Also, I'll make a dark chocolate ganache instead of semi sweet, just personal preference. And I'll be sure to freeze the cake before i try to remove it from the springform. The edges were a little ruined when I tried to remove it even after 12 hours of refridgeration! Overall, this cheesecake is one you will be remembered by, and definitely one to go into your permanent recipe book.

The overall taste was good, but not outstanding. The cheesecake filling was not the best I've had. This recipe leaves me still looking for the best cheesecake recipe.

This is a great recipe, though I suggest using a tad bit more cinnamon and vanilla than is recommended. Pecans go great on top. If you don't have a springform pan, you can do what I did - cut a circle out of parchement paper to put on the base of the pan, so it won't stick. Then, just slide a fork around the edges to loosen it, flip it onto a plate, and flip it right-side-up from there onto a serving platter. Bon appetite!

Most awesome cheesecake, served it up to 16 guests and everyone thought it was awesome, "you really made this from scratch??"" Followed directions as were stated. For chocolate cookies I used regular OREO's. One stated "the best cheese cake I ever had" This one is a keeper.

This is the best cheesecake that my family has ever eaten. I made it to days ago and I'm already going to make it today again. It is the best. Thanks for the great recipe. Suggestion: Instead of pouring all the chocolate sauce on I just drizzle it or it is too much. Delicious!

Excellent cheesecake. I've made it twice. Once I followed the directions to a T and it was fabulous. One time I tried to alter it a little and used chocolate graham crackers instead of the oreos for the crust. The crust ended up being too thick to allow me to put the sour cream layer on at the end. It still tasted great, but I would follow the directions and not change a thing!

Yum!!! I will definitely be making this cheesecake again! I modified part of the recipe to make it fit into a 9" springform pan. I used 1 1/2lbs cream cheese, slightly less than 1 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup whipping cream, 1 1/2 T. flour, 3/4 t. vanilla and 3 eggs. Some tips: Bring the cream cheese and eggs to room temperature before mixing. Let the cheesecake stand for 5 minutes out of the oven before spreading the sour cream mixture over the top and putting in back in the oven. Leave the cheesecake in the oven for a full hour after you turn the oven off. Let cheesecake cool completely on the counter before putting it into the fridge.

This was a great cheesecake. Pretty in depth to make. I used a 9 inch pan and you should def. use a 10 inch. The cake was so high that I could only put a small layer of the sour cream mixture on it. I used crushed choc. graham cracker for the crust and just roughly chopped up the oreos. Melted some chocolate and just swirled it around the top. Looked great and tasted awesome.

Each year my church (which has almost 1,000 members) has a chocoalte festival where people bring all things chocolate and they are judged, awards given and then we all enjoy. This recipe won me the grand prize! I made some changes suggested by another review (Kerri). I left out the cinnamon. I also added cocoa powder, cream and melted chocolate to the batter. I skipped the sour cream and marbled the top with dark and white chocolate ganache. This was the best chocolate cheesecake i've every had. I had people compare it to restaurant quality.
