Heavenly Chocolate Cheesecake
This is the chocolate one. The only good one. Ever.
Ingredients
Crust:
2 cu. crushed vanilla or chocolate wafers
½ cu. sugar
½ cu. margarine, melted
Filling:
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
½ cu. milk
2 lg. pkgs. cream cheese (at room temperature)
½ cu. sour cream
½ t. almond extract
½ cu. whipped topping
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Crust:
In medium bowl, combine crumbs, sugar and butter. Mix well and press firmly on bottom and up the sides of a 9" springform pan.
Filling:
Over low heat, melt chocolate chips. Sprinkle gelatin over the milk. Let stand for 1 minute. Warm the milk and gelatin mixture over low heat, stirring frequently, until gelatin is dissolved.
In large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sour cream and chocolate until fluffy. Beat in gelatin mixture and almond extract. Fold in whipped topping. Pour into the crust. Chill at least 3 hours (overnight is best). Run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake and remove the rim. Fresh fruit on top will not ruin the recipe.
