make (and very tasty!) chocolate cheesecake which requires no baking.
(I think it was originally from the magazine "Canadian Living", but I
can't remember for sure) CRUST: Mix the wafers, almonds, and melted
butter together and press firmly at the bottom of a 9 inch spring cake
pan. Put in the refrigerator while preparing the cheese mixture.
CHEESE: In a double boiler, for which the water is hot but not
boiling, put all the chocolate squares. While the chocolate is
melting, cream the cheese and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Whip the
whipping cream and add it delicately to the cheese mixture. Sprinkle
the gelatin onto the water in a small pot and let it sit for one
minute, then turn the heat on low and stir until the gelatin is
dissolved. Add the gelatin to the cheese and cream. At this point in
time, the chocolate should have finished melting completely. Put
approximately one third of the cheese preparation in another bowl and
add to it the melted chocolate, mixing well. Take the pan out of the
refrigerator, and pour the cheese mixtures in the pan, alternating
between the chocolate and the plain one. Use a knife to marble the
cheese preparations. Put in the fridge for about three hours (until
the cheese has solidified enough). Once you are ready to serve it,
take the cake out of the pan by running a knife under hot water and
passing it carefully along the edge of the pan. REC.FOOD.RECIPES
