Cream Cheese Crust Chocolate Cake

Chocolate is one of my weaknesses. I know I am not alone in this one. Many of you are chocolate lovers or “chocaholic”. Others are also cheese lovers. I am both. Here I want to share with you one of my most requested recipes from friends and family. Cream cheese crust chocolate cake. The crust tastes like an exquisite crème brulée. Is addictive! Plus, it includes those two flavors I love: chocolate and cheese…win, win!

Most of the comments I get are from busy woman that loves food, wants to cook every day (or often) for their family and make easy desserts. Key word: easy. We are often very busy people, but still want to love on our family and share a homemade meal with them. My goal is to make it as easy as possible for you. I am sure you can easily get this ingredients on your next trip to the supermarket and make this recipe in no time. Give it a try. Lets say this upcoming weekend, Father’s Day weekend!
