Notes

  • A water bath can help prevent cracks in the cheesecake.
  • For a richer flavor, use bittersweet or dark chocolate.
  • Cheesecake tastes even better after chilling overnight.
  • Freeze individual slices wrapped tightly for up to 2 months.
  • Use Irish cream flavored coffee creamer for a non-alcoholic version.
