Intro

Dark Chocolate Apple Spiced Cheese Cake is my level up dessert! I honestly didn’t think I could pull this off, but I did and you are reaping the benefits of my success!  I can make a decent Irish Walnut Booze Ball, but this Dark Chocolate Apple Spiced Cheese Cake is just amazing!  Takes a little bit of work, but the end result is well worth it.  I was planning on sharing this when I first made it but ended up eating the whole thing in like 3 days.  I don’t recommend eating the whole cheesecake on your own.  It’s just not a good move.  I’m just going to have to make another one to share.  Yeah, I’ll share it.  Maybe.  I should really learn to share.  Sharing is caring!

Please note that this recipe has a lot of steps and requires some equipment that you can pick up in my Shop!  Have at it!
