Valentine's Day Feast 3: Vanilla Cheesecake and Coulises

Meh. Never made cheesecake before, but I sure have had lots of cheesecake and I know how it was supposed to turn out. I tried to find a fairly generic cheesecake recipe, and instead of a graham crackers I decided to mix in some chocolate cookies in there because Nick likes chocolate. Also, I decided to add some fruit on top, because why not? AND tried to recreate that clear jelly glaze that they top fruit tarts with (I could not find a recipe for that shizen anywhere!). Experimenting - good idea on the first try of an unfamiliar recipe, right? Uh huh...
