CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE
Everyone's a chocolate lover when it comes to this chocolate cheesecake. It melts in your mouth, and it's very smooth and fudgy. For a fun taste twist, spoon cherry or strawberry topping over each slice right before serving. -Sue Call, Beech Grove, Indiana

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Wrap the outside of the pan in layers of heavy duty aluminum foil. You'll be placing this pan in a water bath, so be sure the pan has been wrapped from every angle.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chocolate wafer crumbs and melted butter. Pat the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Set the pan on a wire rack and cool the crust completely. Leave the oven on.
- Fill a medium pot one-third full with water and bring it to a low simmer over medium heat.
- Place a heatproof bowl that will fit on top of the pan snugly, but will not touch the simmering water, on top of the pan. Reduce the heat to low and add the chopped chocolate into the bowl over the pot. Heat until the chocolate is completely melted, stirring occasionally with a silicon spatula. Remove the pot from the heat, leaving the bowl of chocolate over the hot water. Set aside until needed.
- In the bowl of a food processor (or high-powered blender), pulse the cream cheese until completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, about 2 minutes. Add in both sugars and cocoa powder and beat smooth. Add in the eggs, egg yolks, and heavy cream and mix until just combined, about 20 seconds. Fold in the chocolate. Finally add in the vanilla and pulse for another 20 seconds.
- Remove the bowl from the food processor and, using a rubber spatula, stir the filling several times to ensure it's evenly blended.
- Scrape the filling over the partially baked crust in the prepared pan.
- Place the springform pan in a roasting pan or large baking pan. Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and pour enough hot water into the pan to come 1-inch up the sides of the springform pan.
- Bake the cheesecake in the water bath for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the center of the cake is set but still slightly jiggly. The cake will set completely as it cools.
- Remove the cake from the water bath and place the pan on a wire rack. Carefully loosen the foil, then immediately run the tip of a knife around the sides of the pan, to prevent the top from cracking. Cool completely (in the pan), then transfer cheesecake to the refrigerator to chill for at least 6 hours before removing from the pan and slicing.
- Add chopped chocolate to a medium bowl; set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium-heat, bring the cream to a low simmer. Pour half of the cream on top of the chocolate pieces and set aside for 1 minute. With a whisk, begin to incorporate the melted chocolate into the cream. Slowly add the remaining cream and continue carefully whisking until smooth and glossy.
- Add in the butter and use a spatula to stir until the butter is completely melted. The mixture will be dark and glossy. Set aside, at room temperature, until needed.
- Pour ganache over cooled cheesecake. Set aside until ganache is set, about 1 hour.
- To serve, slice the cheesecake with a thin-bladed sharp knife, wiping the knife clean between each cut.
- Store, loosely covered, in the refrigerator, for up to 5 days.

DORA'S PRIZE WINNING CHEESECAKE
My maternal Grandmother, Dora Feinstein, was an excellent cook and an even better baker! She began entering baking contests and in 1964 she became the New Jersey state winner of the Pillsbury Bake-Off. As the state winner she received all new kitchen appliances and an all-expense paid trip, with my grandfather, to Miami FL to compete in the National Bake-Off! Parts of the contest were televised that year and we got to watch her in the parade of state winners entering the hotel ballroom which had been transformed into a lot of small kitchens! Later we watched the Award Ceremony. While she did not win the National Bake-Off she was OUR winner! We loved visiting my grandparents for many reasons, but one particular reason was that we could be sure we would be "testing" whatever her latest creation was! Her recipe became the property of Pillsbury, of course, and appears in their cookbooks as "Royal Marble Cheesecake".

Steps:
- You need a 9 inch springform pan for this cake.
- Melt the chocolate chips, either in the microwave or over a double boiler.
- Take the cream cheese out of the fridge, it needs to be softened.
- Heat oven to 400°F.
- In a bowl, combine ¾ cup flour and 2 teaspoons sugar.
- Using an fork or pastry blender cut in butter (or margarine) until mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 2 teaspoons of the melted chocolate - keep the rest for the filling.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of the ungreased springform pan.
- Bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes or until very light brown.
- Remove from oven and lower the heat to 325°F.
- In a large bowl beat the cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy (you could do this by hand but I would use an electric mixer, you'll need it in a minute anyway).
- Add ¼ cup flour and the vanilla and blend well.
- Using low speed on an electric mixer add the eggs one at a time, beating until just blended.
- Add the sour cream and mix well.
- Take 1 ¾ cups of the filling and put it in a separate bowl and stir in the rest of the melted chocolate.
- Pour half of the plain filling into the pan, over the crust.
- Take half the chocolate filing and put it on the plain filling by spoonfuls scattered around.
- Pour in the rest of the plain filling.
- Take the rest of the chocolate filling and top the plain filling again by spoonfuls.
- Using a butter knife swirl the chocolate through the plain filling.
- Bake at 325F for 60-75 min or until center is almost set (putting a shallow pan half filled with water in the bottom of your oven should help keep the cake moist and reduce cracking).
- Remove the cake and let sit for 10 minutes before removing the sides of the springform pan.
- Let the cake cool for 2-3 hours then refrigerate overnight before serving.
- Enjoy! ( Please note that I am not a cake baker and have not made this recipe for many years- I am GUESSING at the the prep time - I apologize if I am wildly off -- the cooking time is a total of the times for the crust and the rest of the cake).
