ultimate chocolate cheesecake with macaroon crust
(1 rating)
This is one IMPRESSIVE dessert that is immensely delicious. If you love cheesecake and are "mad" about chocolate, this is a little treasure you will use often. It is a dense filling, so please don't overbeat. You do not want too much air incorporated in the filling. Just beat until blended, no more. This is a Renny Darling recipe. Her recipes are incredible. I've made this one, and it's impressive to say the least. I've frozen leftovers and they taste just like a Mounds bar
