Chocolate Cheesecake

Chocolate Cheesecake

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs

2 tablespoons sugar

3 tablespoons butter or margarine melted

2 pounds cream cheese

1 cup of sugar

8 ounces sour cream

1/4 cup cocoa

2 eggs

1 cup flour

3/4 cup heavy whipping cream


Procedure:

In a 5-quart mixing bowl place 2 pounds of cream cheese and 1 cup granulated sugar and mix on low speed until cream cheese is softened and smooth, place in a bowl 8 ounces sour cream and continue mixing until well blended, at this time add 2 eggs, mix for 2 minutes then add 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup cocoa, and 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream, mix on second speed until smooth and creamy. 


At this time your cheesecake mixture should be fluffy like ice cream as it comes out of the ice cream machine. Prepare your 10-inch x 2 inches springform pan, in a large bowl place your graham cracker crumbs and 2 tablespoons sugar, and your melted butter or margarine, then with a wire whisk, whisk them together until well combined, brush onto the sides of your springform pan a little softened butter so the crumbs have something to hold to, place the crumbs on the sides and bottom of the pan. Now you add slowly to the pan your cheesecake mix as not to disturb the crumbs too much, now you should have a full pan. 


Preheat your oven to 275 degrease and not more, when your oven is hot place the cake in it and bake for 55 minutes then shut off the oven and let it in there for 3 hours, at the end of this time you should have the most beautiful cheesecake you ever have seen, let the cake on the table for 1 1/2 hours then place it in the refrigerator for about 2-3 hours. Now remove it from the pan and enjoy. You can put a coconut pecan topping on it if you like.
