This cheesecake is always on the top of the list of cheesecakes to make. It covers the cravings of chocolate and cheesecake all at once. It's my family's favorite and mine as well.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

The different shades of decadent chocolate make this cheesecake a picture-perfect dessert. It's one of the easiest cheesecakes we've ever made. The texture is creamy, rich and so chocolaty. This is fabulous enough to make for a special occasion but easy enough for any time. A truly decadent treat for the chocolate and cheesecake lover.
