Sprinkle chocolate wafer crumbs in bottom of a 7-inch+ springform
pan. Set aside. Position knife blade in food processor bowl; add
cream cheese and next 7 ingredients, processing until smooth. Add egg
and process just until blended. Fold in Chocolate morsels. Slowly
pour mixture over crumbs in pan. Bake at 300^F for 65 to 70 minutes
or until cheesecake is set. Let cool in pan on wire rack. Cover and
chill at least 8 hours. Remove sides of pan, and transfer cheesecake
to a serving platter. Garnish with chocolate curls*, if desired.

+You can substitute an 8-inch pan for this cheesecake recipe, if
desired. The larger cheesecake will require only 45 to 50 minutes
baking time.

*To make chocolate curls, melt 3 squares semisweet chocolate. Pour the
melted chocolate onto wax paper and spread to a 3-inch wide strip. Let
stand until cool but not firm. Pull a vegetable peeler across the
chocolate, and transfer curls to a plate. Store chocolate curls in
the freezer.
