Procedure: The Filling:
Cream together everything on the list except the chips - mix very well.
Add the chips at the end, and stir them through.
Arrange your baking plan.
Foil up a baking sheet or a bigger round pan.
Carefully wrap foil around the springform pan with the prepared crust in it. Place it on the baking sheet. Have some hot water waiting on the stove.
Pour the filling into the crust, nice and neatly into the center. Spread it around.
Now lift the pans onto the oven shelf in the preheated 350°f oven, and carefully pour hot water around the springform pan. Bake for an hour.
The Topping:
While the cake is baking, combine the ingredients except the chocolate, mixing well to dissolve the sugars.
Remove the cake after one hour of baking, spread the topping on it’s surface, and return to the oven for a few minutes maybe 5 or so.
Refrigerate it overnight.
Presentation: Your Eyes Eat First
