Day Two Hundred Eighty: Triple-Chocolate Cheesecake

I hosted the December meeting of my Wine Book Club on Wednesday, so Tuesday I made dessert for them:  Martha's Triple-Choclate Cheesecake.   Crushed chocolate wafers make up the crust.  The filling is a chocolate-flavored cheesecake that is topped with chocolate ganache.  I'll give you a moment to think about that.  


:momentary pause:


Yes, it tastes as good as it sounds.

Cheesecake is sort of a special-occassion dessert in my book. It is so rich and fattening, it's not a craving you should frequently indulge...unless you are training for a marathon.

Add chocolate to the mix and things just get downright crazy.  Let's just say this:  no one turned down dessert.
