Combine 6 oz chopped semi-sweet chocolate and 1/4 cup butter in a small saucepan and melt over low heat.
Remove from heat and stir in the 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of water and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla until smooth.
Heat 1/3 cup of heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of corn syrup in a 2 cup microwave-safe glass measure until very hot but not quite boiling.
Add 4 ounces of chopped chocolate and stir until melted. At this point it will be rather thin, so let it sit for about 30 minutes or until it cools and thickens a bit, then pour it over the cheesecake.At this point, the cake needs some sort of garnish. You could pile chocolate leaves on top, add nuts or do what I do and drizzle lines of melted white chocolate over the top.
