Chocolate Cheesecake Tart Gluten-Free
- 12 cup snickerdoodle cookie
- 12 cup pecans
- 13 cup butter, melted
- 8 ounces soft cream cheese
- 14 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 12 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 milk chocolate candy bar
- 1 pint sour cream
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 12 teaspoon vanilla
- 12 cup semisweet chocolate chunk
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Get a spring-form 8 or 9 pan.
- In food processor blend cookies and pecans until soft crumb texture, add in a little less than 1/3 c melted butter.
- Press into spring-form pan to create a crust; parchment paper can be helpful to prevent sticking.
- If crust is too oily, blot oil off with paper towel, if too dry, add any left over butter.
- Also you might not use all the crust mixture, that is ok.
- Use hand mixer (preferably) or food processor to blend the first 4 ingredients/amounts of cream cheese, cinnamon, eggs,vanilla.
- Pour over crust.
- It may be liquidy if using food processor, that is ok but may add 5 min cooking time.
- It will look thin and tart-like instead of a tall cake.
- Place in oven and bake 20 min or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out mostly clean (moist but clan).
- WHILE COOKING use micro planer or grater to fine-grate the hazelnut-chocolate bar.
- ALSO WORK ON TOP LAYER (SEE BELOW).
- After 20 min/clean toothpick test, sprinkle chocolate over cake.
- For top layer, hand-mix sour cream, second amount of sugar, vanilla.
- When middle layer cake is done and chocolate covered, spoon on top the sour cream layer.
- Place back in oven and cook 5-10 minutes- top layer cannot pass the toothpick test, but it should look a little set on top.
- Cool overnight in refrigerator.
- Melt chocolate chips and use a whisk to decorate the top of the cake with chocolate squiggles.
- You may use all the chocolate, maybe not- it is to taste.
- Place back in refrigerator until chocolate hardens, then serve!
