PHILADELPHIA Double-Chocolate Cheesecake

Delicious and easy to make!! I made this for thanksgiving as an alternative to pumpkin-flavored dessert. Everyone loved it! To lower the calories, I substituted Splenda for Sugar and used 1/3 less fat Cream Cheese. I also cut the recipe in half and bought an already made Oreo Crust (13x9). 1/2 the recipe fits perfect into a store-bought crust! That way I only had to make the filling! ALSO-- i only put it in the over for 20-30 minutes as opposed to the recommended 45. Served it with whip cream and strawberries!! yummm

An absolute hit with my family, especially my son who comments on everything I make! I offered raspberries and whipped cream to top off the cheesecake. The combination was delicious.

OMG absolutely delicious wow amazing

for me yummy. but for my brother-in-law. He said it was a cheese cake in chocolate disguise. ....NOT enough chocolate flavor for him (he's a true choco-holic)

i've now made this twice - it's fabulous. one thing i might do differently next time is bake the crust for only about 5 minutes. it's just a little crunchy for my taste. another thing i did was bake it in a water bath and take the cake out a few minutes shy of the recommended 45 min. perfect!!

Delicious & surprisingly easy to make! And it's huge, so there's plenty if you're hosting a party... but we made it only for our family and ended up eating WAY too much of it!!! :)

Made this awesome recipe 3x in past week! Since I don't like making crusts, I bought 2 ready-made crusts and this recipe filled 2 pies beautifully. I added 4oz extra chocolate chips for intense chocolate flavor, and for my health-conscious friends, fat free cream cheese worked nicely too! YUM!

crust was very hard and cheesecake separated from crust. Tasted okay, but presentation was a disaster.

I made this twice and the second was better. The first time, I put the Oreos in a ziploc and crushed them as much as I could. But 24 only covered half the pan, so I used 48. The crust was too thick in proportion to the cheesecake. The second time, I buzzed them in the blender. For variety in texture, I did 8 cookies really fine (powder), 8 as small chunks (pea size), and 8 in between. Using the bottom of a cup as suggested, it *just* covered the bottom of the pan. I'd recommend 28 doing it this way. Also, the first time I didn't let my cream cheese sit out for very long, so it didn't mix well and I ended up with specs of white in the chocolate cheesecake. The second time I made sure to let the cream cheese get really soft, and it was easier to mix and the cheesecake turned out much smoother. I offered sliced strawberries and whipped cream as optional toppings. It was fantastic and super popular at the birthday party I went to! It disappeared before the birthday cake did. Sometimes I th

My son requested a chocolate cheesecake for his 16th birthday and after seeing the reviews and the 5 stars I thought I would try it. It tastes good but it's sooo sweet. After the 1 piece I'm probably not going to eat anymore... My husband & mother said the same thing... even my little one couldn't eat it and he LOVES chocolate... My son shared it with some of his friends and they couldn't eat the piece they were given.... It's just tooo, much chocolate... Like I said it's good but it's overwhelming chocolate... I am a chocolate lover myself but even I had to say this was way too much....
