Chocolate Mascarpone Cheesecake "The Lucky Carter"


Had a request put in for a chocolate mascarpone cheesecake by a friend. This also gave me the chance to try out Nabisco Barnum's Animal Crackers for the crust. I have decided to name this cheesecake "The Lucky Carter".

Crust:

1 1/4 cup of Nabisco Barnum's Chocolate Animal Crackers
1 cup of sugar
1 stick of unsalted butter, melted

Filling:

2 packages (16 ounces) cream cheese
2 cartons (16 ounces) of Mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup of corn starch
1 3/4 cups of sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp vanilla extract
4 large eggs
8 ounces of Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate
