Sweet Cheesecake Recipes
Chocolate Cheesecake with Raspberry Sauce
This is a very rich and dense cheesecake with a delicious chocolate taste because of the bittersweet chocolate used. I have also used a good quality orange marmalade and just spread it on top of cheesecake once chilled and firm and boy is it delicious.
