I am not a fan of chocolate, but my fiance is a choc-o-holic so I decided to make this for him. I actually thought it was good, and he loved it! I didn't have a springform pan or sweetened condensed milk, so I just used 2 regular pie pans and heavy whipping cream with a little extra sugar. Still turned out great!

I'm giving it four stars because of the slight changes I made based on reviews. I made this for my daughter's birthday party so the adults would have something sweet besides birthday cake. I added a pinch of cinnamon and a pinch of cayenne pepper plus a tablespoon of brewed coffee. I used bittersweet chocolate throughout. I also used the brownie crust, as per reviews. I froze it for 2 weeks and thawed it the day of the party. It was fantastic!!!!! The nine year old girls at the party preferred this cheesecake to the $30 fancy birthday cake!!! It was amazing and highly recommended.

I made this for work and followed the recipe exactly. It was so easy to make and turned out amazing...I have everyone fooled, they think that it is hard. I already have requests to make it again.

I made this twice and gave this 4 stars for a for a few reasons. 1: because the wafer base turned out yuck so i had to make it again and i used oreos instead. 2: because when made according to recipe it was too chocolatety so i changed it too 1/3 less and used dark chocloate 70% cocoa which made it yummy and also used only 2/3 of the condensed milk because its too sickly 3: it wasnt fudgey it was just cheesecake texture and i dont think there is anything you can do about it. Was yum once the kinks were ironed out.

My first cheesecake and it was so easy to make. It tasted even better the next day.

This was great, but I didn't love the crust. I would try crushed Oreos for the crust instead of the vanilla wafers and cocoa next time. I made a large cheesecake and two mini muffin-sized "testers" to decide whether it was better served cold or at room temperature. For the testers, I used half an Oreo and they were much better than the big cake! In general, it was a wonderful and easy recipe, but VERY rich, serve extremely small pieces as others recommended. If I make this again it will be individual servings with Oreo crusts, yum!

Made this once, using brownie mix. YUM!! I do suggest using parchment paper on bottom of pan. Makes things a lot easier. Other than that, this recipe is perfect! Very beginner friendly. Am making again using graham cracker crust.

FABULOUS! This is and incredible cheesecake!

It was easy and very good!

this cheesecake was so good! it was also very easy to make. though you MUST leave it in the refrigerator to cool for atleast overnight. the longer, the better. i will defitently make again!

THIS IS VERY GOOD,DRIZZLED WHITE CHOCOLATE ON TOP.

Extremely easy to make and it turns out fabulous. Definately have to cut into small pieces because of how rich it is. I've made it twice and both times I wound up with a crack on top. Next time I'll try it with a water bath. Thanks for a great recipe!!

AMAZING! This is the first cheesecake I've ever made. I was surprised by it's simplicity and the end result was perfect! My family loved it and I can't wait to make it for future functions!

Sinful and decadent! I baked for exactly 55 minutes and then left in the oven after I turned in off for an hour. Turned out beautiful - no cracks. I did make the brownie crust as another reviewer suggested. We'll see how this does at the dessert auction I made it for!

This is the first recipe that i've rated 5 stars. I'm not a proffessional in baking but this cake made me feel like i am! I actually made a small mistake by mixing the condesned milk last but looks like it didnt matter. I used Mc'Vities digestive biscuit for the crust and it was yummy. I decorated the top with leftover chocolate mousse and ganache. Sounds fattening? I couldn't care less!!! It tasted so good and heck... we only live once.

Whoa is this stuff fantastic! 10 stars all the way. I actually used crushed oreos for the crust instead, so much easier. I also had to use reduced fat cream cheese (all I had on hand) and it still turned out to be the richest cheesecake I've ever had! So sinfully delicious.
