I've been craving cheesecake, and what could be better than something that has 2 billion calories and uses every appliance and dish in the house?
Coffee-Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake
(adapted from the internet by me)
In a large bowl combine
2 8oz pkg cream cheese
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1/4 cup strong coffee
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
Beat well, very well, you're not done yet, keep beating.
Crust: combine
1 1/2 packages graham crackers (so 1/2 of a normal size box)
1/4 cup butter
1 tsp cinnamon
throw it in the food processor or otherwise crunch it up into even crumbles.
Spread the crust on the bottom of the cheesecake pan and
-sprinkle with cocoa.
Whip about 1/2 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold this into the rest of the batter.
Pour the batter over the cocoa coated crust in the pan.
Melt about 2oz dark chocolate with 1 Tbs butter. Drizzle the chocolate into the cake- make about 3 big blobs. Then take a toothpick and lightly swirl the chocolate in. Bake at 300 until the middle is stiff.
*****Disclaimer*** It's still in the oven so who knows how it will set, but the batter sure did taste good!

So it came out great- except it cracked a lot in the middle. The internet tells me you should beat the cream cheese a lot, but not the eggs. So adjust accordingly. I may have over cooked it a bit as well as I got distracted by other things.
