3. Place a wooden stick in the center of the half slice of "deeply chilled" cheesecake (should look like a lollypop). Completely submerge the Cheesecake "Lollypop" in melted chocolate (see following recipe for melted chocolate) Be sure to cover the entire slice keeping a clean stick for a handle. (Variation: Using a spoon, pour the chocolate over the Cheesecake "Lollypop".)
