OH-MY-GOD Halloween Chocolate Cheesecake

Here’s a recipe for Halloween I’d like to share with you, it’s called the “Oh-My-God Halloween Chocolate Cheesecake” and it’s easy to make. Here’s how:

Crust:
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs
about 2 tablespoons sugar

Filling:
3 packages cream cheese, room temperature
3 eggs
apprx 2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened

Using a Springform pan, melt about 2 tablespoons of butter, add about 1 1/2 cups of chocolate graham cracker crumbs, and mix in 2 tablespoons sugar. Stir well with a fork and press into the bottom of the pan.

With an electric mixer, mix three packages cream cheese, with three eggs and about 2 cups of sugar. Add cocoa powder. Pour this into the pan, on top of the crust and bake at 350 for 50 to 60 minutes. Its pretty much done when a toothpick inserted in it comes out clean, but I like to leave it in about five to ten minutes
longer because the cheesecake takes on a wonderful fudge brownie-like consistency on the top layer. The center will be a bit wiggly but will firm up as it cools. Let it cool and remove the form from the pan.

Also, If you put a pan of water in the oven, on the bottom rack, while the cheesecake is baking, the cheesecake is much less likely to crack. :)

(You can add the Halloween flare by using some orange icing or sprinkling a few candy corns on top.)

Enjoy!
