菱 Ingredients
For the Crust:
1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
1/4 cup melted butter
For the Cheesecake:
3 8 oz packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted and slightly cooled
For the Chocolate Mousse:
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups heavy cream, divided
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325F 163C. Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and cocoa powder, and beat until fully combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream, vanilla extract, and melted chocolate until smooth.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the center is set. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
For the Chocolate Mousse:
In a medium bowl, melt the chocolate chips with 1/2 cup of heavy cream over a double boiler or in the microwave until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the melted chocolate until fully combined and smooth.
Spread the chocolate mousse over the chilled cheesecake in an even layer. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Pro Tip:
For an extra touch of elegance, top your cheesecake with chocolate shavings or a drizzle of chocolate ganache before serving.
