Time 3h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup chocolate cookie crumbs
⅓ cup melted butter
¼ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons miniature chocolate chips
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
¾ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup heavy cream
2 extra-strong chai tea bags (such as Stash or Twinings®)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 piece crystallized ginger, minced
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a 9x13-inch baking pan filled with water on the lower rack of the preheating oven. Line a 10-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  • Combine graham cracker crumbs, cookie crumbs, butter, sugar, and cinnamon in a food processor or bowl; mix well. Spread mixture evenly over the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides of the springform pan. Press down with the bottom of a glass or mug to compress the crust. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top.
  • Place crust in the preheated oven to melt the chocolate chips, 3 to 5 minutes. Carefully spread melted chocolate over the crust. Set aside.
  • Place semisweet chocolate chips in an oven-proof bowl; heat in the oven until melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir well to ensure there are no lumps.
  • Add cream cheese and sugar to the chocolate; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Stir in vanilla extract. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in heavy cream just until incorporated; avoid overbeating. Pour filling mixture over the crust.
  • Bake on the middle rack of the oven, above the water-filled pan, until middle is set, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove cheesecake from the oven and cool completely, about 1 hour. Run a thin, sharp knife around the edges to loosen the sides of the cake and prevent cracking.
  • Make ganache while cheesecake is cooling. Bring cream to a boil in a small saucepan. Add tea bags and let steep until fragrant, about 10 minutes. Squeeze tea bags into the cream and discard. Add chocolate chips; stir until melted and smooth. Add ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour over cooled cheesecake and chill until set, at least 1 hour.

CHOCOLATE CHAI CUPCAKES

Indian spices and rich cocoa give these oversized chocolate cupcakes a twist. It's like hot chocolate and a chai latte blended together in cupcake form. For those conscious about their heart health, this recipe uses vegetable oil instead of butter and nonfat milk powder instead of whole milk. These cupcakes taste better after being refrigerated overnight.

CHOCOLATE CHAI LATTE COOKIES



Chocolate Chai Latte Cookies image

Adapted from a recipe I found in a Land O'Lakes holiday cookie mag. Unusual but good (calls for a cake mix as the cookie base). They went over pretty well with my favorite group of culinary guinea pigs, my coworkers!

Provided by Muffin Goddess

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 1h10m

Yield 72 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (18 1/4 ounce) butter recipe chocolate cake mix
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (see note below)
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk (I use skim)
1 cup milk chocolate chips (can use semisweet if you prefer)
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (see note below)
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 -5 teaspoons milk (can use water instead)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients in the cookie list except for the chips. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and well mixed.
  • Stir in chips.
  • Shape dough into 3/4 inch balls (I use a small cookie scoop). Place about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Bake at 350F for about 9 to 11 minutes, or until tops are set (slight underbaking will provide more fudgy chewy cookies).
  • Cool cookies on baking sheet for about 2 minutes. Remove cookies to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
  • While cookies are cooling, combine the dry drizzle ingredients in a small bowl. Add milk or water gradually, mixing well between additions, until you achieve the consistency you like.
  • Drizzle over cooled cookies. Allow drizzled cookies to dry fully before packing cookies for storage or transport.
  • NOTE: In place of the spices in the cookies, you can use 3 tbs. of instant chai latte mix (any flavor).
  • NOTE: You can substitute 1 1/2 cups white chocolate/semisweet swirled chips for the separate types, if you prefer.

Tips:

  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is overbaked.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
  • Use a good quality chai tea latte mix: The chai tea latte mix is what gives this cake its unique flavor, so make sure you use a good quality mix that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Garnish the cake with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for chai latte cake include chocolate shavings, whipped cream, and chopped nuts.
