Ingredients
1 cup crushed chocolate wafers
2 tablespoons butter, melted
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, melted and cooled
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 eggs, lightly beaten

2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup cranberry juice
