Ingredients

4	ounces	chocolate wafers
1	tablespoon	butter	softened
2	pounds	cream cheese	(4x8 oz packages) softened
1/2	cup	sugar
2	tablespoons	cornstarch
4	large	eggs
1	tablespoon	vanilla extract
3	ounces	chocolate (semi-sweet)	one ounce squares
8	ounces	sour cream

Directions

Heat oven to 300. Crush chocolate wafers in food processor or in plastic bag with rolling pin. Add butter and process or knead into crumbs. Pat into bottom of an oiled 9-inch spring-form pan. Bake 10 minutes.

In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Stir together sugar and cornstarch. Beat into cream cheese mixture.

Add eggs to mixture one at a time, beating after each addition. Fold in vanilla, chocolate, and sour cream until uniformly combined.

Turn cheesecake mixture into hot, crumb-lined pan. Carefully return to oven. Bake until center of cake seems to be almost set when the pan is gently tapped-about 1 hour. Turn off oven and allow cake to sit in oven 1 hour longer.

Remove pan from oven; cool to room temperature. Cover without touching surface of cake. Place in refrigerator overnight.

To serve, loosen cake from side of pan with a spatula. Remove side of pan. Place cake on serving platter. Decorate with whipped cream, if desired.

Wonderful is the only word to describe this cheesecake. My family loved it. In fact, I am right now in the process of making my second one for Thanksgiving.

this recipe would taste a lot better if there were sauteed onions and then baked in the oven for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Please don't think me a miss no-it-all, but this recipe was made on Sundays every week for too many years.
