Chocolate Cheesecake

My friends Merlyn and Leo recently finished their exams and assignments. To celebrate this, Merlyn requested a cheesecake and Leo wanted something chocolate-y (I think you know where I'm going with this). And so yesterday I made chocolate cheesecake.

Chocolate and cheesecake, I think it's the world's two best comfort food combined. They are both delicious and comforting; and luxurious and simple at the same time. And what better way to relax and catch up with friends other than a piece of rich and moist cheesecake.

Crumbly chocolate crust with a delicious, rich and creamy filling and then topped with chocolate ganache.

Oh and by the way, do you know that food historians believe that cheesecake was served to the athletes during the first Olympic Games held in 776 B.C? But I bet they didn't taste like this.
