4 ounces semi sweet milk chocolate

1/2 cup sour cream at room temperature

Melt chocolate over hot water or on very low heat. When melted, remove from heat and blend in sour cream. Spread over surface of cooled cheesecake or cheese pie. Refrigerate until firm. Do not bake! Makes enought topping for 1 9" cheesecake or cheese pie.

dash of salt

Beat in the dissolved gelatin a little at a time and continue beating until stiff enough to spread, but not buttery. Very good with pumpkin spice cake.
