I made this cake for a gathering. I got the idea after having a tuxedo cheesecake at Cheese Cake Factory. I tried to recreate it basically. It didn't turn out 100% like Cheese Cake Factory, but pretty close...and still yummy! The cake went to fast, wasn't able to take a picture of an individual slice. :( Enjoy! Go Cheesecake!

Lat cool for 20-30 minutes until it stiffens up. 6- Slice a sharp knife around the edges of the spring form pan ring and release the spring form pan ring from the cake. Remove carefully. 7- Frost the outsides of your cake with the chocolate mousse. 8- I chose to garnish the cake with a little melted white chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate chips and I chose to garnish the top of my cake with my excess mousse. All garnish is optional of course. Make your cake pretty anyway you like. :) 9- Chill cake completely before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cheesecake will be. Use full-fat cream cheese, real butter, and high-quality chocolate.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature: This will help it to mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cheesecake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Chill the cheesecake thoroughly before serving: This will help it to set properly.

Conclusion:

The tuxedo cheesecake is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and creamy cheesecake filling, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. By following the tips above, you can easily make a tuxedo cheesecake that is perfect for your next party or gathering.
