Silky Chocolate Cheesecake

Amazingly rich, yet (relatively) low fat chocolate cheesecake. It's baked, but should actually be done a day ahead for best results. Perfect for entertaining.

1/3 cup	unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon	vanilla

Directions

Using food processor, grind chocolate wafers to crumbs. Pat crumbs into 7 inch springform pan on bottom.

Notes

A food processor is essential for best results. Using a mixer or mixing by hand will just not get you the creamy, smooth texture that is so good.
