Ultimate Chocolate Cheesecake with Macaroon Crust image

This is one IMPRESSIVE dessert that is immensely delicious. If you love cheesecake and are "mad" about chocolate, this is a little treasure you will use often. It is a dense filling, so please don't overbeat. You do not want too much air incorporated in the filling. Just beat until blended, no more. This is a Renny Darling...

I've made this cheesecake several times and it's always a hit. The macaroon crust is a great twist on the classic graham cracker crust. The cheesecake itself is smooth and creamy, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess.
