Thick, wealthy and Dangerously decadent. in case you're looking for a super Chocolate cheesecake, appearance no further! This dessert is A display stopper!

I experience like a number of humans fall into two categories: chocolate dessert lovers or dessert fruit fans!! With brown crust, filling and shaved chocolate on pinnacle, this cheesecake is for all chocolate fanatics.

PERFECT CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE RECIPE

Cookies are my jam, but cheesecake is my obsession! i've been trying to take the precise new york cheesecake recipe and flip it right into a chocolate model for almost a year now. I finally were given around to it a few weeks in the past and that i could not had been happier with the results!

If you've by no means made cheesecake earlier than, don't be intimidated. it's no longer horrifying as you suspect. i have included numerous pointers and hints in the recipe below to help manual you thru the manner and subsequently bake the precise chocolate cheesecake.

The toughest part approximately this recipe is waiting. anticipating the elements to be at room temperature, waiting to relaxation in the oven, and looking forward to it to loosen up in the fridge. believe me, the wait is good well worth it!

INGREDIENTS:

FOR THE CRUST:

2 c. crushed Oreos (cream removed)
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
Pinch salt
5 1/2 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted

FOR THE FILLING:

2 lbs. or (4) 8 oz. blocks plain cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. sour cream, room temperature
1/2 c. heavy whipping cream, room temperature
12 oz. bittersweet chocolate, melted and cool
1/4 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 tsp. kosher sea salt
4 eggs, room temperature
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. espresso powder (optional)

FOR THE TOPPINGS:

Whipped cream
Chocolate shavings or curls
Fresh raspberries
Sprigs of mint

INSTRUCTIONS:

Cover the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with extra large aluminum foil so that the no water can leak in (it’s worth a trip to the store to buy the 18″ wide foil). Wrap it with two layer for extra security. Crimp the top of the foil around the top edge of the springform pan. You can also place the springform pan in a slightly larger cake pan (10″) that has 2″ sides (I ran out of big foil but had a nice cake pan that it just barely fit into. I didn’t have to worry at all about the foil keeping water out).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, placing the top rack in lower third of oven. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the finely ground Oreo crumbs with the sugar and salt. Pour the melted butter over top and mix until the crumbs become coated.
Pour into the prepared springform pan and gently smooth out (I like to use a metal measuring cup for this). Carefully work the crumbs up the sides so that they are 1½” tall and approximately ¼” thick. You should have a nice layer on the bottom and the sides should go about halfway up your pan. Place into the oven and bake for 8 minutes. Remove and turn oven down to 325 degrees.
Beat the cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, and heavy cream the bowl of a stand mixer for approximately 4 minutes or until smooth and creamy. With mixing speed on low, gradually add the melted chocolate, cocoa powder, and salt. Turn mixing speed back up to high and beat for an additional minute. With mixing speed on low, add the eggs one at a time, mixing until incorporated. In a small bowl dissolve the espresso powder in the vanilla extract. With mixing speed on low, add the vanilla/espresso mixture, then beat on high for 1 minute.
Place the prepared springform pan into a large high-sided roasting pan. Pour the filling into the springform pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula. Pour boiling water around the springform pan, taking care not to get any on the filling. You’ll want the water to go halfway up the side of the pan (this was just to the lip of my 2″ tall cake pan). Place in the oven and bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 30 minutes. If you like extra firm cheesecake, continue baking for an additional 15 minutes for a total of 1 hour 45 minutes.
After the cheesecake has baked, turn off the oven, slightly crack the door open and allow to cool for 30 minutes. This is the key to getting a perfect top without it falling or cracks forming.
Remove the cheesecake from the bath and dry the bottom of the pan. Place in the refrigerator on a wire cooking rack to chill for at least 4 hours before serving. Wrap the top of the cheesecake with foil after 30 minutes in the refrigerator (giving the cheesecake 30 minutes will help prevent condensation from forming on the underside of the foil).
During the chilling process the cheesecake should come away from the edges of the pan, making it easy and mess-free to remove it before serving. Top with freshly whipped cream, chocolate shavings or curls, fresh raspberries and mint, if desired.

1 cup warm water
1 tbsp sugar
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 tbsp honey
2 whole eggs + 1 egg whisked for egg wash
