Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a
9 x 3-inch springform or cheesecake
pan with cooking spray.
Place the butter and
1
⁄4 cup of the sugar
in a medium bowl. Mix on Speed 2 to

⁄2 minutes. Add flour, cocoa,
cinnamon, baking powder, and salt;
mix on Speed 1 until combined,
30 seconds. Add egg yolk and mix on
Speed 1 until crumbly, 15 seconds.
Press into bottom of prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes,
until slightly puffed (crust may have
cracked appearance – that is normal).
Place on a rack to cool. When the pan
is cool to touch, wrap a sheet of alu-
minum foil around the bottom and sides
of the pan so that it comes up at least
2 inches.
Place cream cheeses and sugar in a
large mixing bowl. Beat on Speed 1
until combined and smooth, 2 minutes.
Using Speed 1, add eggs, one at a
time, mixing for 15 seconds after each
addition. Scrape the bowl. Add corn-
starch; mix on Speed 1, 20 seconds.
Scrape the bowl. Add half-and-half mix-
ture and vanilla; mix on Speed 1 until
smooth and completely combined.
Pour the mixture over the cooled crust.
Place the pan in a larger aluminum pan
and place in the oven; add enough
hot water to the outer pan so that it is
1
⁄2-inch deep. Bake in the preheated
350°F oven for 60–70 minutes, until the
cheesecake is pulling away from the
sides of the pan; the center will be jig-
gly. Remove from the oven, remove the
foil and let cool completely on a rack.
Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serv-
ing. Garnish with chocolate curls if
desired.
