I made it with melting the chocolate it was grainy but when it went in the oven it was smooth and worked well. But the cheesecake was super yummy! I didn't topped with the drizzle shown on the picture.

I've used this recipe at least a dozen times and I have nothing but good things to say about it. I have a few slight variations of this recipe and they all turn out wonderfully. Baking this to my taste (chocolate fiend, I tend to use more cocoa and butter in the crust. I've served this at social functions and several veteran's events, sticking to the original recipe for caution, and have never had a single complaint. One tip: Use a counter-top mixer, whip the batter well, scrape the bowl often and *allow the larger bubbles to settle out*. Thank you, Mrs. Lawson, for this delicious recipe.

I honestly don't understand any negative reviews - this cheesecake recipe is all that you could ask for! The smooth, silky texture is perfect and the rich chocolate flavor decadent. I had to play with the sauce portion - adding a few more melted chocolate chips to thicken it a bit. I ended up thickening it a little too much, so I'm not sure it was necessary. I also substituted cornstarch for the "custard powder," and it worked really well.

good crust, good flavor,great chocolate sauce on top. No cracks, no problem with the water bath. My problem was that it came out dry. I had it in for an hour.
Maybe needs the lessser end of the time scale? I did use a 10" springform pan.

I have baked many cheesecakes, so I am not a novice. I selected this recipe mainly for the high reviews. I followed the recipe exactly as written, including buying the custard powder from the specialty food section in my grocery store. It did not turn out well at all. It tasted eggy, and the egg taste overpowered the chocolate taste. I could not eat it. Perhaps the addition of vanilla and more sugar would help? I will not make this recipe again.
