Neapolitan Cheesecake

"Creamy and rich, this cheesecake is a show stopper. It has three beautiful layers of cheesecake - strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate. It tastes heavenly and the flavors blend well together. Topped with a chocolate glaze it is really an indulgence that will receive many compliments - before and definitely after eating it! The recipe was printed in Taste of Home magazine and submitted by Sherri Regalbuto."

Questions & Replies

  1. The recipe calls for 5 squares semisweet chocolate,but the directions only use 4. Can this be clarified? I would like to try this recipe but I'm not sure about the amount of chocolate.

  1. I added all of the chocolates into the mixture and added a drop of red food coloring to give it more color.
     
  2. Nice Cake, Mine didn't turn out as high as the one in the picutre but the flavor was very nice. Thanks
     
  3. For the semisweet chocolate and strawberry layer one word describes them: delicious. However I did not care for the white chocolate layer - I'm not quite sure why. I managed to pour the white chocolate layer over the semi-sweet easily - my mum poured the strawberry on top and I'm not quite sure what she did but she made white come through, so mine looked nothing like the picture. I was a bit anxious that the mixture was going to overflow however, it did not rise much. I used a digestive crust, and also found the chocolate topping hard to cut though. Maybe next time I'll use a pureed strawberry topping. What I like about this recipe is you can do soo many things with it e.g triple the amount of strawberries for a just strawberry cheesecake. Or just use two flavors and marble them together. I did find this recipe created quite a lot of washing up but it was definitely worth it.
     
  4. This cheesecake is a real winner! I mixed the layers seperately and came up a bit thin with the chocolate and white chocolate layers, but wow did it taste amazing! Great recipe, well worth it, Thanks!!
     
  5. this was pretty good. The chocolate topping was rather hard to cut through with a fork. It was like a candy bar sitting on top. Flavor was good. For some reason, mine didn't look as tall as in the pictures.
