Chocolate Truffle Cheesecake

I first served this at a holiday dinner party to rave reviews. I don't remember where i got the recipe originally, but it has been a hit! The cake will seem underbaked in the center but will firm up as it is cooling and it will firm up further in the refrigerator. I recommend baking your cheesecakes the day before you need them. You can decorate the top with melted white chocolate or with truffles.
