Black Bottom Cheesecake

I can thank my friend Erna for this delicious recipe. It is easy to whip up and everyone loved it. If you are not a big chocolate fan, substitute the chocolate base for a yellow cake and top with fruit instead of a chocolate bar.

Cake Base:
  • One double chocolate cake mix (makes two flans).
  1. Mix as directed on package.
  2. Pour into well greased and floured flan pans.
  3. Bake at 350 for 15-20 or until top springs back and a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool for 5 minutes and invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Cream Cheese Filling:
  • 1-8oz pkg of cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup icing sugar
  • 4 cups of whipped cream or whipped topping
  1. mix the cream cheese with the icing sugar and beat together til light and fluffy.
  2. mix in 3 cups of whipped cream or whipped topping
  3. use the one cup of reserved cream to decorate
  4. top with crushed toffee candy bar, like sk*r bar.

  11. I have made a similar one, but instead of the chocolate bar on top, I have decorated it with fresh strawberries (cut in half. It looks very impressive that way.
