                         CRUST:
    2      Cups          Chocolate Wafer Crumbs
    5      Tbls          Butter --  Melted
                         FILLING:
    3      Pkg           Cream Cheese -- (8 oz)
    1      Cup           Granulated Sugar
    5      LARGE         Eggs
    2      oz            Semi-Sweet Chocolate --  Melted
                         FROSTING:
    6      oz            Semi-Sweet Chocolate --  Melted
      1/2  Cup           Sour Cream
 
   Start by preparing the crust:  Thoroughly blend the chocolate crumbs and
 butter together.  Press onto the bottom and sides of a 9" springform pan.
  Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.  Prepare the filling next:  Bring the cream
 cheese fully to room temperature.  Beat the cream cheese, sugar and eggs,
 using medium speed on a heavy duty  mixer, until the mixture is smooth, free
 of lumps and fluffy.  Spoon half the mixture into the crust.  Stir the melted
 chocolate into the remaining filling.	Blend thoroughly.  Drizzle over the
 filling already in the crust to form swirls.  Bake for 50 minutes.  Cool
 completely on a wire rack.  Transfer the fully cooled cake to a serving plate.
  Cover with plastic wrap.  Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.  Uncover the
 cake.	Remove the sides of the springform pan.  Prepare the frosting by
 combining the melted chocolate and the sour cream in	a small bowl.  Spread
 over the top and sides of the cake.  Refrigerate briefly to set the frosting.
