Almost Outback Cheesecake

Submitted by mamafallin

"I found this recipe online several years ago and its the closest I've come to that heavenly Outback cheesecake experience. The cake bakes up very high, so watch carefully. I've added dark chocolate and milk chocolate--both are good but the dark is a good contrast. Top with raspberry or caramel sauce to replicate the Outback experience."

directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly spray 9 inch springform pan with butter flavored cooking spray. Set aside.

I have made over 10 of theese since Christmas. They (for the most part) have all turned out GREAT!!! I would even say I like this recipe even better than outbacks recipe!<br/><br/>One little tip though, cheesecake Is verry dense. So after almost whiping the eggs til there all froth, only mix the rest of the ingredents as much as you absolutly have to. Mixing too much will cause air to get traped inside so the cake will rise then fall creating ugly cracks on the top.
