Chocolate Cheesecake

Chocolate Cheesecake

Crust:

1 1/4 Cups Oreo cookie crumbs
1/4 Cup white sugar
1/4 Cup melted butter

Mix crust ingredients and pat into a 9 or 10 inch spring-form pan. Bake 10 minutes at 350°F.

Filling:

24 oz. cream cheese (3 bricks)
1 1/2 Cups white sugar
3 eggs
1 Cup sour cream
12 oz. melted chocolate (Milk Chocolate the best)
1 Teaspoon vanilla

Mix cream cheese and sugar together, blending well. Add eggs one at a time. Add sour cream, vanilla, then add melted chocolate.

Heat oven and add 8 Cups boiling water to a pan and place on bottom oven shelf. This will provide moisture.

Bake at 400°F. for 15 minutes, turn oven down to 225°F. and bake another 50 minutes, or until set in the center. Turn oven off and let cheesecake set with oven door cracked 1 hour. Chill

Did you ever need to make a cheese cake and then need to take it somewhere else.  Like a party or a bake sale at work?

I have saved those cheese trays that you buy from Sobey's, Safeway, or at Superstore.  Then I can re-purpose them.  If I don't get the tray back, I really don't mind.

OK, at this point the Chocolate Cheesecake is done.  I have washed and dried the tray.

I have opened the spring pan and carefully lift the side

I am not a professional, so I am pretty happy with what I am seeing here.

OK, the bottom still has to be removed

This is MY spring pan, and I will not use a metal knife to lift the cheese cake

Go all the way around, breaking the seal from the cheese cake to the pan bottom

Then slide it in place.  TA DA!

This recipe got me a marriage proposal from a straight guy.  He said that I would only have to cook and bake stuff.  He would take "care" of me.  

As a side note, I am still with Tonya.
