DECORATION: Decorate this cheesecake with pencil thin chocolate curls.

Making Curls:

Melt 1 lb. of chocolate. Pour melted chocolate on a cookie sheet that has no sides. Spread it evenly with a metal spatula. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes, you want it firm but not brittle.

Place the cookie sheet on a damp kitchen towel to keep it from slipping. With a sharp knife push the blade across chocolate to form long thin curls. Pick up with a toothpick and place on cheesecake.

Arrange in a circular pattern on cheesecake and sprinkle powdered sugar lightly over the center.
