A Double Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe

First Layer: The Crust

About 9 to 12 chocolate graham crackers, crushed

1/3 cup of almond flour - optional. You may also use any other ground nuts.

1 stick - 1/2 cup - of butter, melted

Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the almond flour and put at the bottom of the greased springform. Pour the melted butter on top and press into the form. Set aside.

Note: I use a potato masher for this purpose with great success.

Second Layer: The Filling

4 packages of cream cheese, at room temperature

1 cup of white sugar

1 tsp of vanilla extract

1 cup - 8 oz - of semi-sweet chocolate chips

4 large eggs

In a large bowl, mix thoroughly the cream cheese and the sugar. For this process, I use my stand mixer.

Add the eggs one at a time and blend well after each addition.

Place the chocolate chips in a small pan. Place the pan on the stove and gently melt the chocolate.

Once the chocolate is melted, add the vanilla and mix.

Add the chocolate mixture to the cream cheese mixture and blend well. Pour over the crust.

Bake at 325 degree, for 45 minutes to one hour.

Cool completely and place in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours.
