Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Crust:
1 1/2 c chocolate cookie crumbs -- Oreos
4 tbsps unsalted butter -- melted
3 tbsps sugar
Filling:
1 1/2 lbs cream cheese -- softened
1 c sugar
3 lg eggs
8 ozs semisweet chocolate -- melted and cooled
1 tsp vanilla

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Line the bottom of your springform pan with waxed
paper (or do whatever you normally do to keep it from sticking.)

For the crust, mix the oreos, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press the
mixture onto the bottom of your pan.

For the filling, beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until blended. Add
the eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition just until blended. Stir
in the chocolate.

Pour the filling into the crust and bake for 60-65 minutes or until
center is almost set.

Note: I always put a pan of water in the oven with the cheesecake --
helps keep the oven moist so the cheesecake is less likely to crack.
