List of Ingredients

1/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup crushed gingersnaps or chocolate cookies
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
24 ounces cream cheese
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons baking cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups sour cream


Recipe

Melt 1/4 cup margarine and add 1 cup crushed chocolate wafers or crushed ginger snaps. Press into bottom of 10 inch spring- form pan. Combine cream cheese, sugar and eggs, one at a time. Add the melted chocolate, cocoa, vanilla and sour cream. Once the mixture is thoroughly and smoothly combined, pour it into the spring-form pan with the crust. Bake at 350ºF for 1 hour 10 minutes. Don't be surprised if, when you take the cake out of the oven, the top, which will have risen a great deal, has cracked. The cracks will heal somewhat as the cake cools and settles. Allow to cool and refrigerate.
