I love cheese cake, just hate to make it. This was so easy, and it was absolutely delicious. My husband and 2 yr old daughter loved it. It is a little sweet, but not as rich as baked cheese cake. I would definitely recommend trying this recipe, and you could still put fruit over it if you don't like the chocolate.
