Pastry Essentials: Chocolate Cheesecake
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Crush the chocolate biscuits into fine crumbs. Melt the butter and mix it with the biscuit crumbs. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased springform pan to form the crust.
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the flour and cocoa powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until well combined. Fold in the sour cream.
-
Pour the batter over the crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Melt the dark chocolate and drizzle it over the cooled cheesecake. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight, before serving.
