Cheesecake with Raspberries and Chocolate

8 Ounces Cream Cheese -- Softened

1/2 Cup Sugar

1 Egg -- Room Temperature

1/4 Cup Sour Cream

1/2 tsp Vanilla

6 Ounces pie crust, chocolate wafer

1/2 Cup Chocolate Fudge Sauce

1 Cup Fresh Raspberries

1 Tablespoon Powdered Sugar -- Optional

2 tsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder -- Optional

Mint Leaves -- Optional

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

In a large bowl, with electric mixer, beat cheese with sugar, egg, sour cream, and vanilla. Pour into crust. Bake 20 minutes or until top is almost set in center. Cool on rack for 5 minutes. Spoon fudge sauce over top in a few dollops. Cool 15 minutes more. Carefully spread fudge so it completely covers cake. Chill.

Just before serving, arrange berries on top of fudge. If desired, sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar and cocoa powder and garnish with mint leaves.
