Chocolate Bliss Cheesecake image

This is going to be part of my Valentine's day collection. I found this on the Kraft website, and it has the cutest and most simple little heart right in the middle. 8 oz of chocolate=8 squares.

Time P2DT2h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

18 chocolate sandwich style cookies, finely crushed (about 1-1/2 cups)
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine, melted
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 ounces semisweet baking chocolate, melted, cooled slightly
3 eggs

Steps:

  • PREHEAT oven to 325°F if using a silver 9-inch springform pan (or to 300°F if using a dark nonstick 9-inch springform pan). Mix cookie crumbs and butter; press firmly onto bottom of pan.
  • BEAT cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add melted chocolate; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Pour over crust.
  • BAKE 55 minute to 1 hour or until center is almost set. Run knife or metal spatula around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim of pan. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Store leftover cheesecake in refrigerator.
  • Dust entire surface of cooled cheesecake with cocoa powder using a wire mesh strainer. For a festive Valentine's Day garnish, create a heart-shaped design by topping dusted cheesecake with a heart-shaped stencil and sprinkling with powdered sugar.
