A silky cheesecake made with cream cheese and sour cream -- and featuring melted bitter-sweet chocolate, cocoa powder, plus a chocolate-wafer crust -- is a lesson in decadence.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup finely ground chocolate wafer cookies (5 ounces; about 22 cookies)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, room temperature
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup sour cream, room temperature
3 tablespoons Dutch-process unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs, room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir together cookie crumbs, melted butter, and 3 tablespoons sugar in a medium bowl. Press crumb mixture firmly onto bottom and up 1 inch on sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake until set, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool. 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.
  • Bake until set but still slightly wobbly in center, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on rack. Refrigerate, uncovered, 6 hours or overnight. Before unmolding, run a knife around edge of cake.

How long do I need to let the cheesecake cool before I can serve it?

I'm not sure if I have a springform pan. Can I use a regular cake pan instead?

I'm allergic to nuts, so I'm wondering if I can substitute the graham cracker crumbs in the crust with something else.

This cheesecake recipe is very similar to one that my grandmother used to make. I can't wait to try it and see if it tastes as good as hers.
