Death.By.Chocolate.

........or why I now need to hit the gym an extra half hour every day this week..........

Recipe adapted from here.

Disclaimer: I haven't done the exact calculations here, but my estimate is that the slice pictured above has close to 400 calories. Make sure you have company coming over if you make this. I omitted 2 tablespoons of sugar from the recommended 1.5 cups. I also omitted 1 tbsp of butter from the total 7 tbsps. (a drop in the bucket I know).... Half the cheesecake has been packed off for hubby's colleagues(two birds with one stone: I we don't end up in the ER, and his colleagues remind him how lucky he is to have me *beams* and *insane laughter* ...next time around...it'll be more coffee and less chocolate (chocoholic that I am, it was still too much for me!!!). Excuse the shoddy photography ( I tried, didn't I?). Any visits to the ER and/or clogged arteries incurred while experimenting with the above recipe are at your own risk. P&P denies any liability/refuses to pay costs incurred from said visits and/or clogged plumbing. The cheesecake was delicious. Will not be making this again.

Reminder to self: Send invites to all friends and neighbors (even enemies--if you really hate them).
