I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, Kat, seriously, what's with the chocolate? Do you want to turn us all into diabetics? Do you have an evil plan to fatten us up like Hansel and Gretl?
No. I love you too much for that.
What's going on is that I'm not going to do a lot of Christmas baking this year but I will be making this unbelievably rich and satisfying cheesecake. I'd send you all a slice if I could but since I can't, the next best thing is to give you the recipe so you can make it yourself.
Henry Thoreau once said, “Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes.” Generally, I feel the same way about recipes that require special equipment or fancy pans. In the case of this recipe, though, I will make an exception. You absolutely must have a springform pan or you’ll end up with a really delicious dessert you have to scrape out of the pan because it’s sticking to the sides and no amount of Pam is going to unstuck it.
If you don’t have a springform pan, it’s worth buying one just to make this cheesecake. (Sometimes you’ll see mini-springform pans and they’re great because you make several little cheesecakes and give one of them away.)
