Cool cooked cheesecake and chill.

Meanwhile, bring cream to a boil and add chopped chocolate.

Stir until chocolate is melted.

Spread over cooled cheesecake.

Refrigerate until served.

Note: To make a spider web design, make a thin white icing (powdered sugar and egg white mixed to the consistency of heavy cream) and, starting at center of cheesecake, pipe a continuous spiral to the outer edge of the cake (practice on the counter first).

Pull a knife point from the center out through the white lines, dividing the cake into sixths.

Then reverse the procedure between the lines, pulling the knife from the outer edge to the center of the cake.
