MAKE CHOCOLATE CAKE OF YOUR CHOICE. YOU’LL NEED TWO 9 INCH LAYERS. SCOOP OUT SOME OF THE CENTER ON ONE LAYER AND FREEZE YOUR LAYERS SOLID.
MAKE CRUSTLESS CHEESECAKE AND FREEZE:
Crustless Cheesecake portion:
1 stick softened butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2- 8 oz packages cream cheese, softened

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease ONE 9″ pan with shortening, line the pan with parchment and then grease the parchment. Lightly butter the pan and Set aside.
Cream butter and sugar in a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Add cream cheese a little at a time until smooth. Scrape bowl down and beat again on medium speed, adding eggs one at a time. Add remaining ingredients. Mix again until smooth.
Pour in pan. Smooth batter with offset spatula and bake for 45-50 mins. Cheesecake will puff up during baking, then deflate when taken out.
Do not turn out cheesecake when finished baking. Put directly in the freezer, and leave until frozen solid.
Turn out frozen cheesecake layersand peel parchment from the bottoms. Put parchment in pan extending over sides and place cheesecake back in. Keep frozen.
