Chocolate Chunk Cheesecake:Every bite of this cheesecake gives you a double hit of chocolate,first in the cocoa wafer crust and then in the chunks of bittersweet strewn throughout the cheesecake.The chocolate chunks register on your tongue a half instant after the cream cheese and sour cream flavors,so you get a layered effect that pleases both chocolate lovers and cheesecake lovers.
