"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Credit goes to Deb Zelisko, an audiologist and former C.D. student cookbook contributor. This is a great cheesecake because it has chocolate, it's easy to make, it only uses one package of cream cheese (so it's much healthier) and it looks gorgeous.
