Our family loves cheesecake... and for his birthday cake, my son wanted cheesecake..... and he wanted chocolate cheesecake. I asked if he wanted chocolate inside the cake or on top. He said, "BOTH". :) So, using my basic cheesecake recipe, I adjusted it and made a Chocolate Chocolate Cheesecake. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chocolate Chocolate Cheesecake
Crust Super Simple Shortbread Bars
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
Mix all together and press into bottom of greased 9" x 13" pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
Filling
4 - 8 oz packages cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar Beat cream cheese and sugar well.
1/4- 1/2 cup cocoa , depending on taste Beat in.
2 tsp. vanilla Beat in.
1 cup sour cream Add
4 eggs
(1 cup sour cream mixed w/ 2 tsp sugar.... Save this for AFTER baking...)
2 cups chocolate chips (milk and semi sweet)....save chips for AFTER baking...
Add eggs one at a time and beat just enough to mix in. Make sure well blended, but don't overblend. Pour onto baked crust -cool is best, but in a time crunch hot works fine, either way. Bake at 335 degrees for 45-60 minutes... start checking at 45 minutes and leave until looks almost done in the center. Remove cheesecake from oven - spread sour cream and sugar mixture on hot cake as best as you can.... bake for another 5 minutes. Remove cheesecake and add chocolate chips. Let cool on rack enough (at least an hour) and then chill. Enjoy. :)

This looks so good! And thank you for the sour cream tip! I may have to make this for my MIL's birthday... she is a huge cheesecake fan and chocolate is her favorite thing ever so I think this is a win win!
ReplyDeleteOh, good, I hope she likes it. :) I sometimes add nuts to the top also, but the son who had the birthday is sensitive to nuts, so we didn't.... but nuts are great on it too. :) Thank you for visiting.
DeleteThis sounds wonderful and I'm sure you made your son very happy for his birthday celebration.
ReplyDeleteHe loved it... we finished it in 2 meals... he is now asking me to make another one! :) Thank you for visiting.
DeleteHappy Birthday to your son! This cake looks and sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you - I will tell him.... the cake was well liked by all. :) Thank you for visiting.
DeleteThis looks fabulous! I like that it is a recipe in a larger 9 by 13 pan! We like to bake in bigger batches around here :) Thank you for linking up this week on the Art of Home-Making Mondays! Tell your son he chose wisely as chocolate is my favorite too :)
ReplyDeleteWe cook a lot too.... and the big pan of cheesecake only lasts for 2 meals... IF Mom makes sure of that. :) Thank you for the link up.... I always like visiting your blog. :)
DeleteChocolate, MORE chocolate and cheesecake? Yes, please:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at the Teach Me Tuesday Linky Party!
What's NOT to like, right? I agree!!! :) Thank you for the link up and for visiting. :)
DeleteYou had me at cheesecake. Thanks for linking up. I’ve pinned your recipe to the Creative K Kids Tasty Tuesday pinterest board. We hope you’ll join us again for tomorrow’s party.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the pinning.... :) Nice to have you visit.
DeleteYummy! My hubby will love this! Thanks for linking up to Pin Worthy Wednesdays
ReplyDeleteIt is good. :) Thank you for stopping by and for the link up.
DeleteThat looks really good. I've not thought to make CHOCOLATE cheesecake! :)
ReplyDeleteI might not have thought about it either without help from my son, who loves chocolate as much as I do!!! :) Thank you for visiting.
DeleteI love that you just make this in a 9x13 pan! Smart idea! Thanks for joining HSH!
ReplyDeleteThe kids like it in the 9" x 13" pan because it is much easier to clean than the springform pan. We make cheesecake quite a bit and this simplifies it. :)
DeleteI will feature this today at HSH!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!!! What a fun surprise. :)
DeleteAll I want is to hide in the laundry room with this pan and a giant fork right about now!
ReplyDeleteFunny! I do understand the sentiment and it was pretty tasty. :) Thank you for visiting.
DeleteOh my! This sweet treat has my husband's name written all over it! I'm not a chocolate fan, but I like to make something chocolate for him (and guests, because I'm the only weirdo who doesn't love it!) every once in a while.
ReplyDeleteI have one of those in my family who doesn't like chocolate either... I cannot relate to disliking it. :) This is a favorite for our family... hope your husband likes it too!
DeleteThank you for attending the #WednesdayAIMLinkParty. I shared your post on Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, and Twitter.
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing! I am a HUGE cheesecake fan and rarely attempt to make it on my own but this sounds simple enough. Pinned.
ReplyDeleteI love using a basic recipe and then tweak it to fit what I want. This is quite simple and yet it turns out so tasty. :)
DeleteI love seeing baking posts on my Tea Blog Party! This looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt is... we make some variation of cheesecake rather often... and it is enjoyed by all. Usually when we have it, I just have to heat the water for a cup of tea... tea just seems to go with a sweet. :)
DeleteThis looks amazing!! I know my husband would love this too. He loves everything chocolate! Thanks for sharing at the Friday at the Fire Staton link-up!
ReplyDeleteIt is great... and rich... and sweet, but not overly so. :)
