Guinness Chocolate Cheesecake

By cwyorkiex3

The addition of the Guinness changes the texture and properties of the cheesecake making it more soufflé like. Normally you can tell when a cheesecake is done by shaking it a bit and if only the center wiggles it is done but the entire surface of this cheesecake will wiggle the whole time, even after 2 hours of baking. You pretty much just have to trust the recipe and the results are certainly worth it!
