  1. i have this same recipe from a Kraft cheese recipe book,where it is called double chocolate cheesecake. after i have the cake glazed and it is just almost set i melt 2 ounces white chocolate and drizzle that over the top of the dark chocolate glaze.....you can never have enough chocolate can you??? i have also made white chocolate rose leaves and spread them on top. this recipe intimidates my friends, but is quite easy to make. i've never had a gooey center though, just the SMOOTHEST cheesecake ive ever eaten.wherever i take this the pan ALWAYS comes back empty. i will add this to my cookbook.....ty for saving me the typing...lol
     
  2. I chose to make this for my DH christmas party. I wanted something special and from the sounds of the reviews I picked a winner! You had to act fast to get a piece of this before it was all gone. My DH thank me for making this. 10 Stars!
     
  3. Ever since I stepped back in Oman, all my friends and family here have been requesting me to bake a cheesecake. Finally, I selected this one for 'em. I baked this in my oven and before I say anything, I have to tell you, my home smelt like a delicious treat filled bakery while this was baking. Mmmm, the smell is just unforgettable. Whoever stepped inside while this was being baked, asked me, what have you been cooking that smells so incredibly good!! Now, about the substitutions I had to make for this recipe, unfortunately, because my local food supply store has stopped keeping alot of stuff. I had to use dark chocolate as a substitute of semisweet chocolate. I used just 680gms. of cream cheese since that was all I had shopped for{My mistake for not having caluculated before hand that I needed 750 gms. of cream cheese for this delightful cake}. I had a major dilemma when I was about to start baking. What I have in Oman is a microwave in which I do baking as well, unlike the proper oven I had back in Orlando. I baked this cheesecake for 35 minutes at 250F as stated in the recipe. Then, I continued to bake it as follows: For 15 minutes at 180C, then for 15 minutes at 200C, then for 10 minutes at 160C, then for 10 minutes at 150C, then for 10 minutes at 160C, then for 15 minutes at 150C and last of all, for 10 minutes at 130C. This was very tasty{especially the ooey-gooey batter in the center of the cake} and I will make it again! Till the end, the centre of this cake was a little liquidy unlike the rest of the cake which was baked very well. I was afraid I'd burn the cake and at this point, removed it from the microwave and stopped baking. Thank you for posting this on Zaar:)

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
