Time

Yield

Ingredients

Ingredients

Crust

2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup margarine, melted

Filling

12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup hot coffee
1 lb. cream cheese
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla

Instructions

Butter sides of springform pan. Mix crust ingredients together and press into bottom of pan. (I like to line the bottom of the pan with a piece of waxed paper or greased parchment paper as it makes it easier to remove from the pan.) Melt chocolate chips in hot coffee.

In a large bowl, blend cream cheese, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Beat until thoroughly blended. Then add chocolate/coffee mixture and blend. Pour into prepared pan.

Bake at 325&$176; for 55 to 60 minutes. Turn off oven. DO NOT OPEN OVEN DOOR. Leave the cheesecake in the oven for 2 to 3 hours. To remove cheesecake from pan. release spring and remove pan side. Invert a plate on top of the cheesecake. Turn over, remove bottom of pan (much easier if you have lined pan with paper as above). Invert another plate over upside-down cheesecake and turn over. Remove plate from top of Cheesecake.

Can top with whipped cream and shaved chocolate or cherries.
