Double Chocolate Whiskey Cheesecake

Comments

Cheesecake is a pretty excellent dessert on its own. However, there are a few ways to make a cheesecake even more decadent than it already is. We have found those ways. First, you add chocolate to the cheesecake. However, we didn't just add chocolate, we added double the chocolate. Secondly, we added Jack Daniel's Whiskey. There is nothing Jack Daniel's cannot solve!
