If you're looking for a decadent and chocolate dessert, look no further. This Double Chocolate Cheesecake is heavenly and I have no shame admitting that I had a small slice with breakfast this morning! Rich, creamy, smooth chocolate cheesecake is nestled into a delicious chocolate cookie crumb crust... it's so simple, it's practically foolproof. The key to this recipe is the use of both unsweetened and semi-sweetened chocolate in the filling. Together, it creates a not too sweet cheesecake filling that's just perfect. Top with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and add some fresh berries if you'd like too.
