Black Forest Cheesecake for Angie
For Christmas this year, Angie got a homemade cheesecake each month for four months, in the flavor of her choice. This is the third cake, and I used this recipe, but with substitutions (of course! Do I ever make a recipe without tweaking it?). I used a store-bought chocolate wafer crust and used only 2 packages of cream cheese. Also, instead of the nasty canned cherry pie filling, I used tart cherry jam that we made last year. I also topped it with chopped white and dark chocolate. The cake itself was dense and fudgy, but it definately needed the cherry and chocolate topping to break up the overwhelming flavor. Thumbs up. By far the best of the three cheesecakes I've made for her so far.
