CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE CANDY CANE BARS



Chocolate Cheesecake Candy Cane Bars image

To set off the sweetness there's an interesting additional ingredient: a touch of coffee in the crust. For best results, like other cheesecakes, these squares should be chilled overnight so they set completely and slice cleanly.

Categories     dessert

Time 9h5m

Yield about 16 (2-inch) squares

Number Of Ingredients 15

20 chocolate wafer cookies
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon finely ground coffee beans
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
2 large eggs, at room temperature
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon light or dark corn syrup
2 tablespoons sour cream, at room temperature
1/2 cup crushed candy canes

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8-inch square baking dish with foil.
  • Process the chocolate wafers in a food processor with the butter, sugar, coffee, and salt until fine. Evenly press the crust into the prepared dish covering the bottom completely. Bake until the crust sets, about 15 minutes.
  • For the filling: Meanwhile, heat the chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl; at 75% power until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir, and continue to heat until completely melted, up to 2 minutes more. (Alternatively; put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl over, but not touching, the water, and stir occasionally until melted and smooth).
  • Blend the cream cheese, sugar, and sour cream together in the food processor until smooth. Scrape down the sides, as needed. Add the eggs and pulse until just incorporated. With the food processor running, pour the chocolate into the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.
  • Pour the filling evenly over the crust. Bake until the filling puffs slightly around the edges, but is still a bit wobbly in the center, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on a rack.
  • For the glaze: Put the chocolate, butter and corn syrup in a microwave safe bowl and heat at 75% until melted, about 2 minutes. Stir the ingredients together until smooth; add the sour cream. Spread the glaze evenly over the warm cake and scatter the crushed candy canes over top. Cool completely, and then refrigerate overnight.
  • Cut into small bars or squares. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
  • Store the bar covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup finely ground chocolate wafer cookies (5 ounces; about 22 cookies)

Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees.
  • Melt chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring, about 2 minutes. Let cool.
  • Put cream cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. With mixer on low speed, add remaining cup sugar in a slow, steady stream. Add salt; mix until combined. Add sour cream, cocoa, vanilla, and melted chocolate; mix until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing each until just combined (do not overmix). Pour cream cheese filling over crust.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate: Opt for semisweet or dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% for a rich and intense flavor.
  • Temper the chocolate: This process ensures a smooth and glossy finish. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, then cool and reheat it to a specific temperature.
  • Use fresh cream cheese: Full-fat cream cheese provides a creamy and tangy filling. Soften it to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
  • Mix the filling thoroughly: Ensure the cream cheese and sugar are well combined, and add any desired flavorings or mix-ins.
  • Chill the filling before dipping: This helps the filling hold its shape and prevents it from melting too quickly.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Experiment with different toppings such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, crushed cookies, or dried fruit to add texture and flavor.
