Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Cheesecake

Ingredients:
  • 1 9 oz package chocolate wafer cookies
  • 3 T butter melted
  • 12 oz Semisweet choc chips
  • 1 C heavy cream
  • 3/4 C Raspberry jam
  • 2 8 oz packages cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 C sugar
  • 4 Eggs
  • 2 t vanilla
  • Instructions:

    Grind cookies to a fine powder, mix with the butter and press into the bottom and up the sides about an inch of a 9" springform pan (or 2 7" pans). Refrigerate while making the filling.

    Combine the chips and cream in a microwave safe bowl and heat at high for 3 to 4 minutes or until smooth. Stir every minute. Mix in the jam, stirring until disolved, let cool 10 minutes.

    Mix the creamcheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each egg. Add the vanilla and the chocolate raspberry mixture. Mix well. Bake 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours at 325 or until cake is set around the edges but still jiggles slightly in the center. Cool and put in the fridge for at least 6 hours. We typically make it in the 7" pans and get 16 sinfully rich slices per cake
