My mom makes this recipe for special occasions. It's good!
1 box thin chocolate wafers, crushed [the only difficult to find ingredient, could substitue chocolate sandwich cookies without filling, or a more normal graham cracker crumb crust if you're desperate]
1/4 c butter, melted
1/4 tsp cinnamon
2 pounds cream cheese
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 c sugar
4 eggs
3 tsp cocoa
2 tsp vanilla
2 c sour cream
Combine wafers, butter, cinnamon. Press into bottom and sides of 10 inch springform pan, chill. Melt chocolate, beat cream cheese until soft, fluffy. Beat in sugar then eggs [adding eggs one at a time]. Add remaining ingredients, blend thoroughly.
Bake 350 degrees 1 hour 10 min. [will be somewhat runny, don't worry, it firms as it chills]. Cool, then chill at least 5 hours. Freezes well.
Update: Sorry, missed the cream cheese when I was typing the recipe in. Thanks to VW Bug, fixed now. And I rechecked everything else, no more errors I can see.

Posted by: VW Bug at July 14, 2005 08:26 PMHow much cream cheese?
It is not in the ingredient list.
