I rate this cheesecake 215mg/dL out of 10. LGTM.
Diabetics check: Passed |
Are we sure that's enough? Might need to do some unit testing on the components to figure out where to add some (syntactic?) sugar. |

Overall things look good, but please reference the other recipes for proper formatting (header type, categories, etc.) A few minor other comments and clarifications, but a delicious recipe!

Is there a reason some are "broken into 1/2-oz pieces" while others are "chopped into 1/2-inch pieces"?
| #. Combine together in a sifter 3/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sift the mixture onto parchment paper and set aside. | ||
| #. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade, combine 3 ounces semisweet chocolate, 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup light brown sugar. Process for 20 seconds. Add 4 tablespoons butter and 1 egg and process for 10 seconds. Add 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and process for 20 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. | ||
| #. Add the sifted flour mixture to the chocolate mixture in the food processor, then pulse for 20 seconds. | ||
| #. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Portion 12 tablespoons batter, 2 inches apart, onto each of the two baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes. Allow the baked cookies to cool at room temperature for 20 minutes. |

I found that it was more like 20 tablespoons, rather than 12. Are only 12 needed for the crust? or should all cookies be used no matter how many are made? 12 cookies only yielded around 2.5-3 cups crumbs
| #. Place 1 1/4 pounds softened cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle. Beat on low speed for 1 minute, on medium for 1 minute, and on high for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then beat on high for 2 more minutes. Scrape down the bowl, then beat for 2 additional minutes on high speed. | ||
| #. Add the 4 eggs, one at a time, beating on high for 15 seconds and scraping down the bowl after each addition. Then beat for 1 more minute on high. | ||
| #. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and beat on high for 5 seconds. | ||
| #. Remove the bowl from the mixer. Use a rubber spatula to finish mixing the batter until it is smooth and thoroughly combined. |

I believe this is the point where the chocolate is added, but unsure.

| #. The cheesecake can now be released from the springform pan. Wrap a damp, hot towel around the sides of the pan (the towel should be large enough to completely wrap around and cover the sides of the pan) and hold around the pan for about 1 minutes. Carefully release and remove the springform pan. | ||
| #. Optionally, garnish the top of the cheesecake with fresh, whole red raspberries. |

This should be included as an optional ingredient in the ingredients list

| #. Use a serrated knife to trim the crust so that it is level with the ganache (trim the crust away from the cake so that it does not fall into the ganache). | ||
| #. Portion 3 to 4 tablespoons raspberry sauce onto each plate. | ||
| #. Heat the blade of a serrated knife under hot running water before slicing into the cheesecake. Cute the cheesecake with the serrated knife, reheating after making each slice. |

Typo: "cute" the cheesecake should be "cut"
