Favorite Chocolate Cheesecake
April 6, 2011
I enjoy making cheesecakes. Over the years I have picked up a few good recipes. One of my favorites is a Garlic Cheesecake! As you can imagine, this is not for dessert. It's a good appetizer though.
Well, I'm not writing for Garlic University Online so I'm not going to give you the recipe for that cheesecake. Instead, I'm going to give you the recipe for one of my absolute favorite chocolate cheesecakes.
This is a substantial cheesecake with lots of chocolate impact. It's rich and dense. It takes time to make, but the results are really worth the effort.
| Cocoa Cheesecake Supreme • 1 cup chocolate wafer crumbs • 3 tbsp margarine • 4 8-ounce packages of cream cheese, softened • 1 cup sugar • 1/3 cup cocoa powder • 4 eggs • 1 cup sour cream • 1 tbsp vanilla extract Melt the margarine and pour over the chocolate wafer crumbs. Mix well to fully coat the crumbs. Press crumbs evenly onto the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a crust. Bake at 325° F for 10 minutes. Blend together the cream cheese, sugar, and cocoa in an electric mixer. Add the eggs, one at a time. Mix well after each one. Slowly add the sour cream, blending completely. Pour the mixture over the crust. Bake the completed cheesecake at 350° F for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately loosen the cake from the edge of the pan, being careful to avoid cutting into the cake. Do not remove the pan until the cheesecake has cooled. Chill for several hours or overnight before serving. Save yourself a really big slice! |
Enjoy!
