Cheesecake with cocoa?!


Question:

Cheesecake with cocoa?

I have been searching for a recipe for a cheesecake using unsweetened cocoa. My grandmother used to make it all the time before she passed. Unfortunately no one in my family knew how to make it. All the recipes I find call for a whipping cream, condensed milk, liquor and/or half and half. She used none of those. Does anyone know a recipe that I can use the unsweetened cocoa and not put any of the above ingrediants in?
