I made this for DH for Valentine's Day. He love love loved it and declared it his favorite cheesecake that I've made so far. (And I've made a few!) I used 1/3 fat cream cheese for about half of the cream cheese, and fat free sweetened condensed milk. Also used graham crumbs for ease and convenience. Thanks for the great recipe!

This is an awesome cheesecake! I had gotten the recipe from my Hershey cookbook. Glad to see it on here!! I have used graham crumbs instead of vanilla wafer and it still comes out great!! Thanks, ratherbeswimmin'!

Absolutely Awesome! A+! This is my new cheesecake recipe! I had an open package of oreo crumbs so I made a thin oreo crust (didn't use the crust portion of this recipe). After baking, the cheesecake was tall with a lovely even top. When it was cool I spread the top with melted mint chocolate to make a mint chocolate cheesecake. Fabulous! The best cheesecake I have ever made! Thanks for the recipe, NurseDi!

Sinful is just the tip of the iceberg! This was very moist, dense, creamy, rich and chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. I cut it into 16 pieces, and then cut down from there too because it is THAT rich. I did use graham cracker crumbs in place of vanilla wafer crumbs (I was out of those) and it came out beautifully. This dessert if for those who like rich, decadent, and chocolate!. Thanks NurseDi
