Can anyone recommend a good chocolate cheesecake recipe? Graham cracker crust is a must!
Blasphemy!

MINI BAILEYS CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE TRIFLES
16 oz cream cheese, room temp ½C sugar ¼C
cocoa 4T Baileys 1C heavy whipping cream, cold
2T baileys 1½T cocoa 3T powdered sugar 15
oreo cookies crushed
Cheesecake layer: Beat cream cheese, sugar &
cocoa until smooth. Add 4T Baileys & mix well.
Set aside
In another bowl, whip heavy cream until it starts
to thicken. Add 2T Baileys, cocoa, powdered sugar
& continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
To make the trifles, divide half of the cookie crumbs
evenly between 4 cups & spread into even layer in
the bottom of the cups. Pipe, or spoon, an even
layer of cheesecake filling on top of cookie crumbs.
Use only half of the filling. Pipe an even layer of
whipped cream on top of the cheesecake in each
of the cups. Divide remaining cooking crumbs
between the 4 cups on top of whipped cream.
Keep a few crumbs aside for garnish. Pipe
remaining cheesecake on top of cookie crumbs.
Top each trifle w/ a swirl of whipped cream and
the cookie crumbs. Refrigerate until ready to
serve. Take out for about 15 min so they aren’t
too firm. Use glass/plastic dishes to show layers.
325 oven. Add cupcake liners to a cupcake tin.
Mix oreo crumbs & melted butter. Press mixture
into 12 liners & press into the bottoms. Bake 5 min
then remove from oven. Allow to cool while you
make the filling.
Reduce heat to 300. Mix cream cheese, sugar, cocoa
until combined. Use low speed to keep air from
getting into batter, which can cause cracks. Scrape
down sides of bowl. Add sour cream, vanilla & Baileys.
Beat on low until well combined. Add eggs, 1 at a time,
beating slowly & scraping sides of bowl. Fill cupcake
liners most of the way. Bake 12 min, then turn off oven
& leave the door closed for another 5 min. Crack the
oven door & allow cheesecakes to cool for 15-20 min,
then put in fridge to finish cooling. To finish off the
cheesecakes, whip heavy cream on high until it begins
to thicken. Add powdered sugar & Bailey’s & continue
to whip on high until stiff peaks form. Pipe whipped
cream on top of cheesecakes, then drizzle w/ chocolate
sauce. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
These are smaller than a regular cheesecake, but
they are also portion control. Hope you enjoy them.
I'm looking for something truly decadent and sweet. Any suggestions?

The "original " Phila cheesecake recipe calls for 4 or more bricks of cream cheese. Which of course is delicious but then i wind up with more than i really want to eat. The 2 brick recipe makes a smaller one and it's easy and satisfying.
My kids wanted a chocolate cheesecake and I might try that sometime but I prefer to make the plain cheesecake and then i can top it with whatever they want, chocolate ganaches, strawberries, nutella or anything. It's a perfect blank slate to add any other flavor.
Has anyone made rye bread? I was going to pick up some rye flour and what they has was white rye flour. I have never seen that before, it usually is brown. Gonna give that a try today. Not sure how the flavor will be.
Not me. Let me know how it goes. I use wheat berries that I mill in my coffee grinder for my sourdough starter then use all purpose for the bread. No flour in the stores so I ordered a couple 10lb bags from Walmart. I also have a kitchenaid attachment coming that I can use to get a finer mill, but it's on back order.
I'm not a fan of mixing in flavors to a cheesecake, either.
But I do like the pumpkin cheesecake at Thanksgiving. It's a good blend.
I want a mortor and pestil. I want one big enough to be useful, but not so heavy I won't use it.

When my BFF gets here I am going to make some of my delicious home made cinnamon rolls. Also going to try my hand at a cherry pie. I think I might make the crust from scratch too. Never made a home made crust before but I hear they are good. I'm thinking about throwing together some home made sugar free brownie cheesecake for when we visit my parents.

NJN ~ Sugar free brownie cheesecake? I'd love to see the recipe. Thanks !
Yes. I'm going to look at different recipes but yes. I may start out with a sugar free brownie mix and just do the cheesecake on top of it. I may do the whole thing from scratch. I've been doing keto and I sure do eat brownies and cheesecake. I use monk fruit sweetener in place of sugar. You can get it at Wal-Mart. It's the closest to real sugar I've found. Cheesecake is easy to make. Just use a standard recipe and replace the sugar with an alternative. Let me do some research and I'll pass on what I finally decide on.

Tonight I cheated. Freezer biscuits, and powder gravy. But I made sausage.

Here's a from scratch recipe for sugarless cheesecake brownies Momala. I've decided though that I am going to use my keto brownie mix and do a cheesecake without sugar. Easy peasy. I use Lankanto brand brownies. All their stuff is sugarless and keto friendly. You can't even tell it's sugarless. And they use monkfruit sweetener so there's no after taste.
If I were doing this recipe just sugarfree and not keto I would use regular flour and not almond flour. Almond flour is keto friendly.
