Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Cheesecake

 


Dalton requested this Chocolate-covered strawberry cheesecake after we looked at some fancy cheesecake options on pinterest.  We wanted an actual cheesecake, so I had to invent the recipe.  Basically, I added a cup of pureed strawberries to my mom's LA Times cheesecake recipe and cooked it WAY longer.  It turned out amazing.
