This is so delicious. I am not sure where this recipe came from but being the cheesecake lover I am, it is a keeper. Ingredients:
1 envelope unflavored gelatin |
1/4 cup cold water |
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup whipping cream |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 chocolate crumb crust (8 or 9 inch) |
2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips |
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over water; let stand for 1 minute. 2. Heat gelatin; stir until dissolved. 3. Remove from the heat; cool slightly. 4. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. 5. Gradually beat in cream, vanilla and gelatin mixture until smooth. 6. Pour into crust. 7. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and butter; stir until smooth. 8. Transfer to a heavy duty resealable plastic bag; cut a small hole in a corner of bag. 9. Pipe a circle of chocolate in center of cheesecake. 10. Pipe evenly spaced thin circles about 1/2 inches apart over filling. 11. Beginning with the center circle, pull a toothpick through circles toward the outer edge. 12. Wipe toothpick clean. 13. Repeat the pattern until the cake is lined with melted chocolate on top. 14. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours before cutting. 15. You can create a web look on top of cake. |
