Triple Chocolate Cheesecake

I was craving Cheesecake as I often do, and  I was looking at all the cheesecake recipes on Pinterest.  I finally decided to give into my craving, which I have not done since I was pregnant!!  I was debating between the cupcake looking cheesecakes and this recipe, but chocolate usually wins ;-)

It was a fairly easy recipe to follow.  Although the measurments are a little odd for us Canadians.  We don't deal with ounces, all our products are listed in grams. I do have a handy app on my iPhone that does conversions if needed, and its FREE!! 


This is my cake, you can see the crumbly crust, its not quite as pretty as the original, but it was DELICIOUS, and I will definitely make it again!
