If I had to make one I would take a low cab dark chocolate candy bar and give melting it a try if it comes out smooth you won’t have any problems.  I would make it with no crust and for the ingredients I would use eggs, at least 3 pkgs of REAL cream cheese at room temp, heavy cream and vanilla sweetened with splenda.  I cook by feel and senses, without weights and measures.  I’m guessing you would need 6 jumbo eggs at least 1/2 C (maybe more) heavy cream and vanilla to taste.  The amount of splenda depends on how sweet you want it anywhere from 3/4 C to 1 C should work.  Bake at 350 deg F in middle of oven until done.  Garnish with some hazelnuts.  Oh, check your local home-brew supply store.  They may have a natural chocolate flavor additive.  Some people like making homebrew beers and wines that have a chocolate finish.  I do not know what the carb count would be in the additive.
