We thought this recipe was spot on! I baked mine for 30 minutes, covering for the last 5 and it turned out perfect. I guess everyone's oven is a little different. The first time I made it with the parchment but it seemed unnecessary, so the second time I sprayed the bottom of the springform and it worked just fine for me. We all loved this recipe. It tasted like a decadent hot fudge brownie sundae.

Took advice of other reviewers and baked for 50 minutes and allowed plenty of time in between for cooling. I thought cheesecake was delicious and will make again. To Vanessa365 keep negative comments to yourself. Nobody likes a hater.

I really enjoyed this cake. yes the timing is way off! i baked mine for 50 minutes and I'm in Indiana. The bottom is very dense like a brownie! the cheesecake is very chocolatey and really needs the mousse to lighten up the the chocolate. I left the ganache off because hubby doesnt care for it too much. It's very good though! bake it longer and you will be fine!

My cheesecake was absolutely phenomenal. I did take the advice from the other reviews and changed the baking time-50 minutes in a humid southern kitchen. I also pre-baked the bottom layer for seven minutes; let it cool then proceeded with the other layers. The entire process took 1 1/2 day between the baking and cooling. Note: it is important to refrigerate overnite or freezing cake before adding the ganache layer. Everyone thought it was a professionally made cheesecake. Rich and decadent.

This was a really disappointing dish, a total flop. I followed the recipe exactly. The baking time is way to short. The cake bottom did not cook, it was soupy. The cheesecake part was also under cooked, it was just a runny mess. The vanilla cream cheese layer was good, no baking involved for that. I wouldn't waste my time or ingredients trying it again.

For the Chocolate Cake "Crust"
Add 1/4 teaspoon of Maxwell House Instant Coffee

For the Baked Chocolate Cheese
Instead of Ricotta Cheese add Mascarpone Cheese and I do not add flour to my cheesecake, do not add this ingredient. Also, bake the chocolate cheesecake for 45 minutes-1 hour on 325 F. Then make sure you let it cool on a sheet tray or a cookie rack for 3 hours. Then put it in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours. I also think this Jeneen was lying to Sunny about how much money she raised for her album, but maybe I'm wrong.

great flavor & texture however, it's much longer time frame than the time referenced. This should be made one day in advance and the time should be 6+ hours at least. With cooling times this is a half-day project I hope she was selling these at a premium for the record deal. The segment in NO WAY made it known how much time this will actually take....please read recipe carefully and plan a half-day at the minimum. 30 minute bake time is under the time actually needed,

This was an OK recipe. Each layer held up fine. However, the outcome wasn't as good as I had expected. The first time that I try a recipe, I always follow it exactly as printed. The next time that I make it I will make some changes. There is room for improvement on this recipe.

My wife & I watched the episode and we both thought this looked wonderful and were hoping it tasted better than it looked. I followed the directions to a tee. The second layer while baking fell into the first layer. I also needed to bake it longer than 30 min. 45 min total. It was still very soupy in the center.
It almost seems that the first layer needs to be baked for a little while before adding the second layer. We will wait for more reviews before attempting it again. Any hints will be appreciated
