Homemade Style Chocolate layered Cheesecake

Can I just say that I find Cheesecake the hardest thing to bake and perfect; It is so difficult! But I decided to challenge myself this week and bake it. And hey, it turned out pretty good :) There was no purpose as to why I baked it, I just wanted to :) But I was craving something chocolate hence why I stuck in the chocolate layer at the bottom ;)

Lets begin by preheating the oven to 300 degrees this time!

Crust
In a medium bowl, combine
2 cups of Gram Crackers Crumbs
1/3 cup of sugar
1/3 cup of melted butter
Press the crust into the bottom and 1 inch up the side of the spring form pan. Bake for 6 minutes and let it cool
Chocolate Layer
Using a double boiler, melt
6 (1 ounce) squares of semi-sweet chocolate
6 tablespoons of butter
After that is completely melter, whisk in
1/2 cup of sugar
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons of All-Purpose Flour
Pour into the bottom of the cooled crust and bake for 15 minutes.

Cheesecake Layer
In a large bowl, beat together
2 packets of cream cheese
3/4 cups of sugar
Beat until creamy. Then add 3 large eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Then beat in,
1 teaspoon of Vanilla extract
1 tablespoon of All-Purpose Flour
1/2 cup of sour cream
Once all is well combined, pour onto the chocolate layer and bake for 1 hour. When you pull it out, the top of the cheesecake should be a little wobbly. When it is all done, gently run a knife around the edge of the cake to release the crust from the sides of the pan. Let cool completely. Once cooled, set in fridge for about 8 hours before serving.

and there you have it! It doesn't sound difficult, which it's not, the difficult part is just mastering it. For cheesecake, everything has to be be to the T, if you do one thing slightly wrong, it could not come out how you would want it :(
Mmm.. so delicious. The chocolate layer definitely adds a little Umph to it :)
I hope you enjoy!
