3 tablespoons Butter or margarine, melted

cup Semisweet chocolate chips, 6-oz

32 ounces Cream cheese, softened

3 tablespoons Cornstarch

teaspoon Salt

8 ounces Sour cream

2 teaspoons Vanilla extract

cup Heavy cream

12 ounces Semisweet chocolate square, 12 Squares

8 ounces White chocolate

Sweetened whipped cream

Preparation

This recipe calls for 1 1/2 cup heavy cream in ingredients but only 1 cup in directions. 12 squares of chocolate but only 8 in directions. The instructions for using the other 1/2 cup cream and 4 squares of chocolate are missing but I think it was probably to use for an icing.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x3 springform pan. In bowl, mix chocolate wafer crumbs and butter; firmly press onto bottom of springform pan. Bake crust 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips or pieces. Let stand several minutes until chocolate pieces are softened then spread evenly over crust. Refrigerate while preparing filling. In large bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. In small bowl, mix sugar, cornstarch and salt; gradually beat into cream cheese until well

Refrigerate cheesecake at least 6 hours before serving.
