Marbled Chocolate-OrChocolate Cheesecake This is my family's favorite cheesecake. 12 servings preheat oven to 475 F. Crust: ** 1-1/2 cups finely crushed chocolate wafers, vanilla cookies or graham crackers 1 cup finely ground, blanched almonds 1/4 c. margarine, melted Filling: 32 oz. cream cheese, soft (regular, light or non-fat works equally well) 1 cup sugar 3 Tbsp. flour 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract 1/2 tsp. rum extract 4 eggs, room temperature 2 egg yolks 1-1/2 cup (8 oz.) chocolate chips, melted (can melt in cream, take care not to burn) 1/4 cup heavy cream 1. Mix crust ingredients well. Pat into a greased 9" springform pan (bottom only); set aside. 2. In a large bowl beat cream cheese until creamy. 3. Add sugar & flour; beat until well blended. 4. Mix in extracts. 5. Add eggs and 2 egg yolks; one at a time, beating until well blended. 6. Stir in chocolate chips and cream. 7. Pour onto crust. 8. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 225o F. for 1 hour. 9. Turn off oven, let cake stand in oven 15 minutes. 10. Remove cake to wire rack to cool. Remove sides of pan Chill in refrigerator. ** Sometimes I buy a chocolate crumb crust that comes in a pie pan and pop it out into the greased springform pan, making sure it spreads evenly over bottom of the pan and just pour the filling on top. Works great.
