This is a totally fabulous cheesecake! Absolutely delicious! I really like how easy the chocolate frosting comes together. I decided to marble the frosting too, so I melted some white chocolate chips with a bit of sour cream (in the same manner as the frosting) dribbled it around and ran a knife lightly through it a few times. We really enjoyed this, thanks Sharlene.

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
