Red Velvet Cheesecake

That fact that this is a Red Velvet Cheesecake, really leaves little left to be said about it. It's rich, it's chocolaty...it's yummy! Enough Said.

It looks more brown in this picture, but I assure you that is due to poor lighting in the kitchen. It really is very very red!!

Filling:

3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa       
1/2 cup whole buttermilk
1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon white vinegar
2 (1ounce) bottles red food coloring

Topping:

3 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup butter                                                          
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar                                             
1 teaspoon vanilla                                                           
                                                                                      
Crust:

1 1/2 cups chocolate graham crackers
1/4 cup butter
1/4 sugar

Note: Because of the buttermilk in this recipe, this cheesecake will never set as firm as other cheesecakes. But it is still delicious!!
