I've posted several Chocolate Cheesecake Recipes over the years from Chocolate to Double Chocolate to Triple Chocolate Cheesecake, but here's yet another -- Boozy Triple Chocolate Cheesecake. Perfect for today's Food Holiday: National Cheesecake Day. This recipe is adapted from CookingLight. The original recipe calls for reduced fat cheeses and low-fat sour cream and less sugar than my adaptation.
Boozy Triple Chocolate Cheesecake

1/4 cup
sugar
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 Tbsp
egg white
1 1/3 cups
chocolate graham cracker crumbs (about 16 crackers)
