Sinful cheesecake

OK, I'm still in Thanksgiving recovery mode, but we're getting through the leftovers. Dessert was very pumpkin-esque, as usual, but I tried something new this year: a chocolate cappucino cheesecake. A former colleague made this 8 years ago, and I LOVED it then. However, I hadn't made it since then.

It was every bit as good as I remember. And judging from all the comments posted at All Recipes, it's a big hit with chocolate lovers.

It's a whole lot of cheesecake (3 blocks of cream cheese), and my shortcut was using the pre-made chocolate cookie crumble crust, which are smaller than springform pans. The bonus? I made one recipe, but had two cheesecakes instead of one!

If you want a basic cheesecake, this is the one on the Philadephia Cream Cheese box. Super simple, and always a crowd-pleaser.
