I believe I got this from Debbie Fields' TV show. It's the absolute best cheesecake I've ever had, even without the glaze. To respond to a review, I actually made this with a chocolate cookie crust (sorry, I don't have a recipe), so I can't comment on whether the recipe for the crust is good or not. Since the reviewer thought it was horrible, maybe you should try your own chocolate cookie crust instead. I posted the recipe like it was written by Mrs. Fields, but it didn't sound like one I wanted to try.

Yield 1 cheesecake

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups ground pecans
1 1/2 cups chocolate wafers
3/8 cup butter
16 ounces cream cheese, room temp
1 cup dark brown sugar
4 large eggs, room temp
1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
8 ounces semisweet chocolate
1/3 cup espresso
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar
3 ounces semisweet chocolate

Steps:

  • Crust: Stir together ingredients.
  • Press on sides of springform pan and refrigerate.
  • Drizzle 3 oz.melted semisweet chocolate over it. (This 3 oz. is optional, and it's not included in the ingredients above).
  • Filling: Cream cream cheese.
  • Add brown sugar.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating well.
  • Add vanilla, coffee, cooled chocolate, and sour cream, separately.
  • Blend after each addition.
  • Place the cheesecake in water bath with foil around pan.
  • Bake at 300F for 1 hr.;.
  • reduce to 275F for 1 hr; reduce to 250F for 30 minute.
  • Glaze: After cheesecake has cooled, melt ingredients in microwave and pour warm over cooled cheesecake.
  • Now I usually don't add the chocolate drizzle over the bottom, and I just make a plain chocolate crust (without the nuts).
  • But I promise you, this is the best chocolate cheesecake I've ever eaten.
