- 3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- Non-stick cooking spray
- 1 (6-ounce) package semisweet chocolate morsels
- 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese (regular or nonfat) softened
- 1 1/4 cups sour cream (regular or nonfat)
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour

- Mix well with a fork to combine.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan that has been coated with non-stick spray.
- Set aside.
- To make the filling, melt chocolate in a double boiler or medium bowl over simmering water.

- Mix on low speed until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in sugar and flour.
- Pour filling into prepared pan.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over surface of cheesecake.
- Using a toothpick swirl the chocolate into the filling, just until decorative swirls form (don't over-swirl, or you'll lose the effect).
