Expert Tips

No need to buy chocolate wafers just for this recipe--use what you have on hand. Try graham crackers, chocolate sandwich cookies, gingersnaps or shortbread cookies. Delicious!

Replace 1/4 cup of cookie crumbs with 1/4 cup finely chopped toasted almonds.

I made this for my mom to celebrate mothers day. I didn't have a springform pan and instead used a glass pie pan. I also opted out of the chocolate wafers and made this cheesecake sweeter by using the cookie part of Oreo cookies. I scrapped all the filling off the cookies, and they made a delicious crust! It turned out great!!! Despite my variations, it was perfect in taste and looked fabulous.

I made this for a potluck and I was relieved how easy it turned out to be. I added a chocolate layer on top and really thought it looked beautiful. Everyone thought it was store bought! Something about the sweetness didn't really add up. It tasted light, not really like a cheesecake. Either way, it was good, but not fantastic. Next time I think I'll try a different crust instead of the chocolate graham crackers, maybe it will make it sweeter.

I made this receipe for my sister's birthday, it was such a hit! Not only was it delicious it was beautiful (even prettier than the picture). Even the waitess at the resturant commented on it, so we gave her a piece too! I will make it again. Dinowife: I used chocolate gram crackers, pretty easy to find:-)
