The earliest known cheesecake recipe is from the 14th century, and cheesy concoctions were popular in ancient Rome. Who are we to fight a tradition with so long a history?

So I thought I'd do my part to satisfy the global hunger for cheesecake data with this Chocolate Velvet Cheesecake recipe. Enjoy it, cheesecake lovers, wherever you are.
