When Evelyn unveiled the dessert at a recent coop dinner, we quickly understood why the main course had been a large salad. Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake with raspberry sauce. It doesn't get much better folks. I would venture to say that this definitely makes the list of the best 10 desserts I have ever had. There was a hush as we started to bite into the cheesecake. A few moans, and then I couldn't bear the thought of not having the recipe, any longer. Here it is, as it appears in the January issue of Bon Appetit. Enjoy!
