Cheesecake

1. Preheat oven to 375 degree F.
2. In the top of a double boiler (or using your favorite melting method), melt the grated chocolate over low heat. Once melted, turn off the burner but keep on the stove to stay melted.
3. Beat cream cheese and sugar for several minutes--until completely smooth.
4. Add flour and vanilla, stir well. Add egg and milk. Mix just until combined and smooth.
5. Divide batter into two bowls.
6. Stir melted chocolate into 1 bowl until smooth.
7. First pour the chocolate cheesecake mixture into each hole, filling each cavity slightly more than 1/2 full.
8. Top with white cheesecake filling.
9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until there is only a slightly jiggle left in the cakes in the center.
10. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 2 hours.
11. Remove from pan, and decorate with chocolate curls.
