Chocolate Cheesecake - RECIPE

Chocolate Cheesecake is a hardcore chocolate dessert that only the most serious chocoholics should consider making! A thick, rich chocolate cheesecake mixture is poured over a chocolate cookie base and baked to create what could be one of the most decadent and evil recipes ever devised - Give it a go!

=================
RECIPE FACT SHEET
=================

INGREDIENTS IN THIS DISH:

500g Sour Cream
3 Eggs
3/4 Cup of Castor Sugar (Superfine White Sugar)

PLEASE NOTE: For best results, I recommend chilling the baked cheesecake for about 4 - 6 hours (after resting it in the oven) so the cheesecake becomes firm. If you want a softer cheesecake (as seen in the video) then 2 hours will be fine ;)
