The cheesecake was so smooth and creamy. Really amazing! Just the right amount of chocolate flavor, not overly sweet, just perfect. I shared the recipe with my sister.

I didn't think there could be a better dessert than black forest cake, but then I tried this cheesecake version. It's rich, creamy, and so good. Served it at my son's engagement party.
