Reviews

Wonderful recipe! I have never made a cheesecake before and was going to enter a cheesecake contest at work. Found this recipe and decided to try it. I won 2nd place out of 16 cheesecakes!!! It was probably a little bit more time consuming than some recipes as you have to melt chocolate and make layers and such but worth every bite. It looks really pretty when cut as you see the layers. I used more almonds than stated in my crust and I used Ghiardelli chocolates and Cadbury for the milk chocolate. Again, it was wonderful. Thank you for submitting this recipe. I have family in your area and can't wait to share the recipe with them. over 3 years ago by JanetP
