SPECIAL PLEASURE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE
This decadent dessert is a prize-winner from a recent issue of Simple and Delicious magazine. Go light on the portions, or your guests won't be able to finish! It also helps to serve it with milk. Note: I used more than the suggested nine portions of cookie dough for the crust. In fact, I made my own dough and used the equivalent of about 18 ounces/one package of prepared cookie dough.
