Mascarpone and Chocolate Cheesecake

Mascarpone and chocolate cheesecake is a dessert everyone loves, and personally, I prefer the mascarpone version over the one with cheese.
The cheesecake is not one of those desserts I make frequently, but I really wanted to make it, and it had to be with chocolate.
You will also find another version of cheesecake on the blog, but this one is my favorite, and it will surely impress, perhaps as a dessert for Sunday lunch.
Of course, you can also choose not to add chocolate and maybe leave it plain with just some chocolate chips.
If you make any of my recipes, send me the photos, and I will publish them on my page with your name.
If you enjoy making my recipe, let me know if you liked it in the comments.
