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!
