Chocolate Cheesecake, a simple yet elegant offering

Welcome to Our Sunday Café, we are pleased you stopped by for a visit. Today we are offering another delicious recipe from our kitchen. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did…

Chocolate Cheesecake

While I prefer whole grain, naturally sweetened baked goods, every now and again, my dear husband requires a dessert that is a bit more indulgent. This Chocolate Cheesecake is just such a dessert. It is rich, chocolatey and cheesecake, all his favorite flavors in one!
