Chocolate -Raspberry Cheesecake image

Another AWESOME cheesecake I get rave reviews from. I clipped this recipe from a Better Homes & Gardens magazine and I love it--worth the effort. I prefer to use the fresh raspberries and I sometimes drizzle additional melted chocolate on top. The two layer effect makes for a nice presentation. SO YUMMY!
