Stir in the chocolate mixture and fold in the pecans.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust and bake the cheesecake in the middle of a preheated 325 degree F oven for 2 hours, or until it is just set. (The cake will fall in the middle.)
Let the cheesecake cool in the pan on a rack, chill it, covered loosely, overnight, and remove the side of the pan.
