Baked Double Chocolate Cheesecake
- 250 g plain chocolate cookies, crushed
- 100 g butter, melted
- 500 g cream cheese, at room temp
- 395 g sweetened condensed milk
- 3 eggs
- 12 cup thickened cream
- 375 g dark chocolate, melted (not cooking chocolate)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- In a bowl (or food processor) combine the cookie crumbs and butter.
- Press into the base of a 24cm springform tin (I like to place a large sheet of parchment paper on the base before I set the rim around).
- Refrigerate until needed.
- In a large bowl - or your cleaned food processor, beat the creamed cheese and sugar.
- Once smooth, add the milk, cream and eggs (one at a time).
- Beat until the eggs are just combined.
- Use a spatula to wipe down the edges as you go.
- Slowly add in the melted chocolate and the cocoa.
- Beat until smooth.
- Pour into your prepared tin and bake at 160oC (140oC if fan forced) for 75 - 80 minutes (the top should look like jelly, wobbly).
- Turn the oven off and leave the cheesecake to rest until the oven is cold (about 2 hours) this will help prevent the top cracking too much.
- Once at room temperature refrigerate until required.
- Serve with fresh cream and fruit OR cream and chocolate curls/shavings.
