Steps:
- 1. THE CRUST
- 2. Place a rack in the middle position, and pre-heat oven to 375f (190c).
- 3. Gather your ingredients
- 4. Rub the interior of a spring-form pan with butter, or use a non-stick spray, and then wrap the pan in foil.
- 5. Chef's Note: There are some new pans out there (I use one) that is not a spring-form pan, and uses a silicon seal for the bottom of the pan. No need for the spring form, and no need for the aluminum wrapper.
- 6. Process the pecans and wafers in a food processor until smooth.
- 7. Incorporate the melted butter.
- 8. Press into the bottom of the spring-form pan.
- 9. Bake for 10-minutes, in the pre-heated oven, and allow to cool.
- 10. THE CHEESECAKE
- 11. Gather your ingredients
- 12. In the bowl of a food processor, fitted with a paddle, mix the 24 ounces cream cheese, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and table salt.
- 13. Mix until fluffy.
- 14. Add the eggs, one at a time, make sure each egg is incorporated before adding another.
- 15. Chef's Note: Scrape down the sides of the bowl, between additions.
- 16. Add the 1/2 cup cream, and vanilla extract.
- 17. Beat until fully incorporated.
- 18. Place a rack in the bottom position, and preheat oven to 325f (162c)
- 19. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust. Transfer the spring-form pan to the middle of a high-walled roasting pan (or other pan), and place in the oven.
- 20. Pour boiling water into the roasting pan; 1/3 of the way up.
- 21. Chef's Note: A bain marie (ban mah-REE) is the fancy term for a hot water bath. It's used for cooking delicate foods like custards and cheesecakes to create a gentle and uniform heat around the food.
- 22. Bake in preheated oven for about one hour, or until the cheesecake is set.
- 23. Chef's Tip: To tell if the cheesecake is ready to come out of the oven, the sides should be set, and the middle should still jiggle.
- 24. Cover, and let cool in the refrigerator up to twenty-four hours.
- 25. THE TOPPING
- 26. Combine all of the ingredients for the topping in a saucepan.
- 27. Bring to a boil, over medium-low heat without stirring.
- 28. Simmer for ten minutes.
- 29. Let cool for 15-20 minutes until slightly thickened.
- 30. Spoon the sauce over the top of the cheesecake, or spoon it over the individual slices.
- 31. Chef's Note: Because of the sweetness of this dessert, a counter to this is a good cup of black coffee. Hot coffee, and cool cheesecake; what a treat.
- 32. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the taste of your pie. Look for a chocolate that is at least 70% cacao and has a rich, deep flavor.
- Don't overmix the cheesecake batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cheesecake tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking and will also help to create a smooth, creamy texture.
- Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow the cheesecake to set properly and develop its flavor.
- Serve the cheesecake with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh berries: This will add a delicious finishing touch to your pie.
Conclusion:
Chocolate pecan pie cheesecake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor, creamy cheesecake filling, and crunchy pecan topping, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
