Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Need a sweet treat to serve a crowd? Try this chocolatey dessert! Since it serves 16 people, it easily fits the bill.

Variation

Substitute foil-lined 13x9-inch pan for the springform pan. Mix crust ingredients as directed. Press onto bottom of prepared pan; cover with prepared filling. Bake 45 min. or until center is almost set. Cool completely in pan. Spread with COOL WHIP mixture. Refrigerate 4 hours. Use ends of foil to remove cheesecake from pan before cutting to serve.

How to Shave Chocolate

Warm 1 oz. chocolate by microwaving it on HIGH for a few seconds or just until you can smudge the chocolate with your thumb. Hold chocolate steadily, then draw a vegetable peeler slowly over the chocolate to form shavings. Repeat with remaining chocolate.

This recipe came out AWESOME! Unfortunately, I over baked it because I didn't hear the timer I set, and it was a little dry, but I think that was my fault. Will definitely make this again.

I made this for my 11 year olds birthday cake. It was a hit and looked great with candles in it!

My family all loved this cheesecake! I baked the cheesecake for the entire 55 minutes that the recipe called for, but instead of immediately removing the cheesecake from the oven, I left it in for another 30 min. with the oven off and the door cracked. I've found that this gradual cooling process helps prevent cracking & allowed the cheesecake to set a little more.

This cheesecake is easy to make and is full of flavor. Just a couple days after we finished it in my house, I was being begged to make it again!

I will do this x-mas 2010. I would much rather just add in a tsp. of chocolate frosting (whipped) to the Whip cream it has the same taste as the semi sweet chocolate. I tried it on another recipe a few months back.

This was the first time i've made a cheesecake. It was a great one to start with. It was a little time consuming, but worth the effort. Everyone is my office said it was great!
