It's great when you can learn to make a dessert like cheesecake but then there are so many variations you can apply that it transforms into a completely different dessert. This Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake is just that. If you started by making a basic Chocolate Cheesecake, then this is a slight variation. I got this recipe from Kraft Foods a few years ago but have modified adding a home-baked crust and adjusting the directions a bit.
