Categories     dessert

Time 11h20m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar
25 chocolate wafer cookies from one 9-ounce package
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Three 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
4 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 ounces chopped semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
White and semisweet chocolate curls, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Arrange the oven racks in the center and lower third of the oven. Place a baking dish or roasting pan on the bottom rack and fill halfway with water. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • 2. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place 2 tablespoons of the sugar and the cookies in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse until moist. Press the mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the springform pan. Set aside.
  • 3. Beat the cream cheese and remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar until creamy in the bowl of a standing mixer or using a hand mixer. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time until just incorporated. Beat in the sour cream, flour and vanilla. Reserve 3 cups of the batter (this does not need to be refrigerated) and stir the melted chocolate and almond extract into the remaining batter. (Don't worry if there are tiny flecks of chocolate in the batter, they will bake into the cheesecake.) Pour the chocolate batter over the crust. Bake the cheesecake on the center rack of the oven until the edges are just set but the center is still a bit jiggly, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • 4. Slowly pour the reserved vanilla batter over the chocolate layer and continue to bake until the cheesecake is just set but the center is slightly jiggly, another 40 to 45 minutes. Turn off the oven, open the door slightly and let the cheesecake cool 20 minutes. Remove and run a knife around the edge of the pan. Cool to room temperature and then chill overnight.
  • 5. Before serving, let stand at room temperature for about 1 hour. Remove the sides of the pan. Garnish generously with white and semisweet chocolate curls.

Time 1h15m

Yield 20 bars, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened dutch cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted

Steps:

  • Spray a 9 x 13 baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the long sides, then spray the parchment with cooking spray.
  • Sift flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt into a large bowl.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until smooth.
  • Add 2 eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla to the butter mixture and beat until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture.
  • Once all of the flour is incorporated, increase mixer speed to medium and beat until fully incorporated. The batter will be heavy!
  • Preheat over to 325°F
  • Set aside 1 cup of the cookie dough - cover and refrigerate.
  • Press the remaining dough into the prepared baking pan.
  • Chill for 30 minutes then bake until the base is set and the edges are puffed, about 25 minutes.
  • Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, combine the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, 1 egg and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla in a medium bowl.
  • Spread over the cooled base.
  • Remove the reserved cookie dough from the fridge and let it soften slightly.
  • The cookie dough can be crumbled on top of the cheesecake layer or, if you prefer, you can use a pastry bag fitted with a large plain tip to pipe the dough in diagonal lines (going both ways) over the top of the cheesecake layer.
  • Bake until the filling is set, 25-30 minutes.
  • Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  • Once cool refrigerate briefly then, using the overhanging parchment, lift the bars out. Trim the edges and cut into individual bars.
  • Bars can be refrigerated up to 3 days in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in a better-tasting cheesecake. If possible, use full-fat cream cheese, butter, and sour cream. You should also use a good quality vanilla extract.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature. This will help it to cream together smoothly with the other ingredients. If the cream cheese is too cold, it will be difficult to mix and may result in a lumpy cheesecake.
  • Don't overbeat the batter. Overbeating the batter can result in a tough, dense cheesecake. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking. To create a water bath, place the cheesecake pan inside a larger pan filled with hot water.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help the cheesecake to set properly. You can chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.

Conclusion:

Black and white cheesecake squares are a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and always a hit with guests. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious black and white cheesecake that will impress everyone.
