Decadent Baked Chocolate Cheesecake

Ultra rich, super chocolatey, deliciously cheesecakey – pure, utter, indulgent, decadence.

With a chocolate biscuit base, 10 ounces of bittersweet chocolate, 32 ounces of cream cheese, cocoa, and more chocolate and cream for the topping this is a serious cheesecake.

When I first found this recipe, I just couldn’t stop thinking about it (I do tend to obsess about things like this). I just had to make it and when I did, I’m pleased to report that it lived up to my (very) high expectations.

My advice, just go ahead and make it – it’s worth it. Very very worth it.
