  • “So good and very simple to make.I couldn’t find the chocolate crust, so I used regular graham cracker crust instead.This recipe is a keeper!”

  • “Erin, this cheesecake was out of this world!So delcious! It is a definite keeper in this house!Thanks!”

  • “What a great recipe – quick, easy and really delicious! Next time I’ll make my own crust so that it looks entirely homemade. I’ll use this recipe often for dinner parties because it looks elegant but is so easy. Thanks for sharing this excellent recipe!”

  • “This cheesecake is delicious. I’ll only change one thing, and that is you should bake it at 300 degrees for 50 minutes. The more gentle baking makes it turn out even better.Also, if you use frozen raspberries, make sure you thaw them first.”

  • “Great recipe.Use an Oreo pie crust for a bit of a twist on the original.Also do not hesitate to spoon or squeeze some more whipped cream on top of the glaze just before serving.”

  • “Really easy to make and so yummy too!I love chocolate and raspberries together so this was perfect for me!My company loved it and gave rave compliments so I am passing them on to you!Thank you for sharing!”

  • “This was easy and so delicious!I usually cook my cheesecakes in a springform pan, and using the premade crust made it easier.”

  • “This was quite good! I made a chocolate graham crust, and everything else as stated, using frozen raspberries which i would definetly NOT recommend. It took forever to bake (closer to an hour), which made the crust very hard and chewy. Then the extra moisture made the cake a bit soggy after about two days. Also, next time i would probably add an extra packet of cream cheese to boost the richness. Even with all that, i really enjoyed this.”

  • “What a wonderful finish to dinner!!After the two of us (my pregnant significant other included) ate half of this, we wished that we had room for more!After making the crust, I realized that instead of raspberries we had blackberries, and I also made the chocolate glaze with 3 tbsp butter in place of the whipping cream.WONDERFUL!!We will be sharing this recipe with our families.”

  • “THANK YOU, THANK YOU!This was so easy to make with a divine taste and was so pretty when sliced.I put the fresh raspberries in the pie shellwith the open end of the raspberry facing upward so when I poured the cheesecake filling into the shell it filled up each raspberry!When it was sliced the raspberries looked so neat with the filling in each one.The chocolate topping was so perfect for the raspberry flavor.Outstanding!”

  • “this was a great recipe.I was looking for a chocolate cheesecake and modified this one by adding 4 oz of melted bittersweet chocolate to the base and eliminating the raspberries.It was great!The whole family loved it and I loved it because of its ease. Thank you”

  • “Excellent recipe!!! Have made for family & friends heaps & they are always impressed – one of my all time favourites. Thank you Erin.”

  • “I was looking for a simple but different cheesecake for Christmas dinner this year. This one fit the bill in spades. It was easy but delicious.Anyone could make this one, and have it turn out fantastic!”

  • “This cheesecake was really good.It turned out beautiful.I really enjoyed the fresh raspberries.Since they were under the cake filling, they were a surprise when the guests took the first bite.We really liked this dessert, and I will definately be making it again.Thanks for sharing it.”
