This is my sister in law's speciality. Very rich and quite impressive to serve. I have served this on a white place with a tiny swirl of warm seedless raspberry jam as a garnish. My SIL still makes this better than I do. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs |
1/3 cup sugar |
1/3 cup butter, melted |
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese |
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa |
2 eggs |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup sugar and melted butter.
2. Press mixture onto bottom and up sides of a 9 inch springform pan.
3. Beat cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar, cocoa and vanilla until light and fluffy.
4. Add eggs and blend well.
5. Pour into prepared crust and bake at 375 for 20 minutes or until almost set.
6. Remove from oven and cool.
7. Cover and chill several hours. Overnight is best.
