Provided by millegrazie

Categories     Desserts     Cakes     Cheesecake Recipes     Chocolate Cheesecake Recipes

Time 8h45m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
¾ cup melted butter
2 cups sugar
¾ cup water
1 ½ cups heavy cream
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
¾ cup sour cream
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
4 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a 10-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Combine the graham cracker crumbs with the cocoa powder and 1 cup sugar. Toss with melted butter. Press into the bottom and 1 to 2-inches up the sides of the prepared springform pan.
  • Bring 2 cups sugar and the water to a boil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue to cook without stirring until the mixture has turned a deep, golden color, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove from the heat, and carefully pour in the heavy cream (the mixture will bubble vigorously). Return the caramel to the stove over low heat, and stir until completely liquefied. Stir in the chocolate until melted, then stir in the sour cream. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Beat the cream cheese until fluffy in an electric mixer. Add caramel mixture, and blend well, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally. Add eggs, one at a time, scraping the bowl after each addition. Add the vanilla with the last egg. Mix until well incorporated, then pour mixture into prepared pan.
  • Place pan into a hot water bath with the water coming half way up the sides of the springform pan. Bake in the center of the preheated oven until the center has set, about 1 hour 15 minutes. The cheesecake is done when the middle 3 or 4 inches are still a little wobbly. Chill completely before serving.

Categories     Cheesecake

Time 6h

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

10 ounces graham crackers, crushed into crumbs
7 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream (whipping cream)
8 ounces good quality white chocolate, chopped
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
5 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
boiling water
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 3/4 teaspoons lemon juice
1 pint heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 375°F Combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter and press into the bottom and 1 1/2 inches up the side of a 10 inch spring form pan.
  • Bake for 10 minutes and then allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Reduce the heat to 325°F and prepare the cheesecake batter.
  • Place the chopped white chocolate into a heat safe bowl and set aside. Bring the 1/2 cup of cream to a simmer over medium heat in a small sauce pan. Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate, swirling the bowl to submerge it and allow to stand for one minute. Stir the chocolate gently until melted completely.
  • In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese until smooth and lump free. Add the sugar and mix, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • On medium speed, slowly add the white chocolate ganache. Once combined you can add the eggs, one at a time, beating on low speed until each egg is incorporated. Once you've added all the eggs, mix in the vanilla and salt and pour into your prepared pan.
  • Set the pan onto a couple large sheets of aluminum foil and smooth them up the sides of the pan to waterproof.
  • Set the cheesecake into a large roasting pan and then place in the oven. Pour the boiling water into the roasting pan, filling to about one inch (no higher than the lowest edge of aluminum foil). Allow to make at 325°F for one hour then reduce heat and bake at 300°F for an additional 60-90 minutes until the center is just set. The outer ring of the cheesecake for about 3" should be set.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
  • To glaze, gently warm the 1 cup of the caramel sauce on the stove or in the microwave until slightly runny and then pour onto the cheesecake. Smooth the caramel over the cake and serve.
  • To make the Caramel Sauce: In a medium sauce pan over medium high heat, combine the sugar and lemon juice. Stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar is mostly melted then set aside the spoon and swirl the pan over the heat to keep the color even throughout.
  • Continue to cook and swirl until it sugar turns a medium amber color. Watch it carefully, the sugar will quickly darken and should it become dark brown or black it will taste bitter and unpleasant.
  • When the sauce turns the right color slowly whisk in the cream. If the caramel hardens with the addition of the cream, do not worry. Just continue to add the cream and bring the mixture back to a a boil over medium heat. Continue to stir until the sugar has remelted. Allow to boil for 5 minutes then remove from heat and stir in the butter.
  • Pour into a heat safe container and chill until ready to use.

CHOCOLATE CARAMEL CHEESECAKE



Chocolate Caramel Cheesecake image

Categories     Cake     Cheese     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     Shavuot     Gourmet

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 crumb-crust recipe , made with finely ground chocolate wafer cookies
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
8 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped
1/2 cup sour cream
3 (8-oz) packages cream cheese, softened
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Make crumb crust as directed in separate recipe, using chocolate wafer cookies instead of graham crackers.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Cook sugar in a dry heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring slowly with a fork, until melted and pale golden. Cook caramel without stirring, swirling pan, until deep golden. Remove from heat and carefully add heavy cream (mixture will vigorously steam and caramel will harden). Cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until caramel is dissolved. Remove from heat and whisk in chocolate until smooth. Stir in sour cream.
  • Beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until fluffy, then beat in chocolate mixture on low speed. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, then vanilla, beating on low speed until each ingredient is incorporated and scraping down bowl between additions.
  • Put springform pan with crust in a shallow baking pan. Pour filling into crust and bake in baking pan (to catch drips) in middle of oven 55 minutes, or until cake is set 3 inches from edge but center is still slightly wobbly when pan is gently shaken.
  • Run a knife around top edge of cake to loosen and cool completely in springform pan on a rack. (Cake will continue to set as it cools.) Chill cake, loosely covered, at least 6 hours. Remove side of pan and transfer cake to a plate. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Tips:

  • For a smoother cheesecake, use a springform pan.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing.
  • Do not overbeat the cheesecake batter, as this can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath to prevent the top from cracking.
  • Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate for the chocolate drizzle.

Conclusion:

This caramel cheesecake with chocolate drizzle is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy cheesecake filling, rich caramel sauce, and chocolate drizzle, this cheesecake is sure to please everyone.
