CHOCOLATE-GLAZED COCONUT ALMOND CHEESECAKE



Chocolate-Glazed Coconut Almond Cheesecake image

My idea was to make a cheesecake taste like my favorite candy bar, which has chocolate, coconut and almonds. This cheesecake also works in bite size. Use a mini muffin pan with muffin liners, fill 3/4 full and bake 15-17 minutes. Allow to sit and cool completely before topping with chocolate, coconut and almonds. -Keri Brammer, Lawton, Oklahoma

1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted, husked
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
For filling
8 ounces good-quality white chocolate (such as Lindt or Baker's), finely chopped
3 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature
6 tablespoons sugar
1 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur)

For topping
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur)
3 cups fresh cranberries (one 12-ounce package)

  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Butter 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides. Finely grind shortbread cookies and toasted hazelnuts in processor. Add melted unsalted butter and process until moist clumps form. Press crumb mixture onto bottom of prepared springform pan. Bake until crust is pale golden, about 8 minutes. Cool completely.

Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture boils, about 5 minutes. Add remaining 2 cups cranberries, grated lemon peel and cornstarch mixture. Simmer until cranberries just begin to pop and mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Cool. Cover and refrigerate until mixture gels. (Cheesecake and cranberry topping can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.)
  • Run small sharp knife around sides of springform pan to loosen cake. Remove pan sides. Smooth sides of cheesecake with knife. Transfer cheesecake to platter. Transfer cranberries to strainer and drain well, reserving any syrup. Spoon cranberries evenly atop cheesecake. Cut cheesecake into wedges and serve, passing any reserved cranberry syrup separately.

CHOCOLATE-GLAZED ESPRESSO CHEESECAKE



Chocolate-Glazed Espresso Cheesecake image

Number Of Ingredients 1

1 dash blah

Steps:

  • 4. In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the cream cheese, sour cream, cooled heavy cream with espresso powder and sugar until well combined. Scrape well after mixing. Add the eggs one at a time, pulsing and scraping well after each addition. Add the vanilla and salt, and pulse to combine. 5. BAKE THE CHEESECAKE: Pour the batter over the cooled crust and transfer to the oven. Once the cheesecake is in the oven, reduce the temperature to 300°F. Bake until the cheesecake is set but still slightly jiggly in the center, about 1 to 1½ hours. 6. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate until fully cooled, about 2 hours. Run a knife around the edge of the cooled cheesecake, then release it from the springform pan. 7. MAKE THE GLAZE: In a small pot, heat the cream and corn syrup over medium heat. Place the milk chocolate into a small heat-safe bowl. When the cream comes to a boil, pour it over the chocolate. Let it sit for 15 seconds, untouched. Mix the ganache to combine, and pour immediately over the cheesecake. Let set before slicing and serving. Note: This recipe is for an ultra-tall New York-style cheesecake. You can halve the amounts for the cheesecake custard and glaze (keep the crust amount the same) for a more moderately sized cheesecake. Reduce the baking time to 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Colorado Mel's Glazed-Chocolate-Cheesecake-Cupcakes image

These are my favorite cupcakes from when I was young! They're so delicious, they're easy to make, and everyone always wants the recipe. :) My mom used to spread the extra glaze between graham crackers and we would eat them after they hardened. Those were so good that sometimes we would just make the glaze recipe minus the cupcakes!

CHOCOLATE GLAZED TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE



CHOCOLATE GLAZED TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE image

Categories     Cheese     Dessert     Bake

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

For The Crust
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons of sugar
3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted
For The Filling
5 8 ounce packages of cream cheese
2 cups of sugar
4 large eggs
1/4 cup sour cream
3 ounces white chocolate chips
3 ounces milk chocolate chips
3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
For The Glaze
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons whole milk
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 F Crust: In a large bowl combine the crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Press the mixture onto the bottom of a 9" springform pan, and bake the crust for 10 to 15 minutes or until set. Filling: Using a stand-up mixer beat the cream cheese until it is smooth and add the eggs, sugar and sour cream, beating until the mixture is combined.Divide the mixture between 3 bowls and set aside. Using a metal bowl set on top of a saucepan of barely simmering water melt the white chocolate, stirring until it is smooth, using a handheld mixer beat it into one of the bowls of cream cheese until the mixture is just combined. Repeat this procedure with the milk chocolate and again with the semi-sweet chocolate. Reduce the oven temp. to 250 F. Transfer the milk chocolate mixture to the springform pan, smooth the top. Next spoon the white chocolate mixture over it soothing it carefully. Next smooth the semi-sweet chocolate mixture carefully over the white chocolate mixture. Wrap foil around the bottom and halfway up the sides of the pan, place the pan in a baking pan or half sheet pan and fill the sheet pan with a 1/2 inch of water. Bake on middle rack 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until the edges are set. Remove from the oven and cool for 1 hour, cover and refridgerate for 8 hours. Bring to room temp. in preparation for glaze. Glaze: In a heavy saucepan heat the cream, milk and butter over a moderately high heat until it begins to boil. Gradually add the chocolates, reduce heat and simmer stirring constantly for 6 minutes. Let the glaze cool. Pour the glaze over the cheesecake and let it stand for several minutes, and remove the side of the pan.

Tips:

  • To ensure a smooth cheesecake filling, use room-temperature cream cheese and sour cream. This will help them blend together more easily and prevent lumps.
  • Make sure to beat the cream cheese and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the mixture and create a smooth texture.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from curdling.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help to create a moist and evenly cooked cheesecake.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before glazing it. This will help to prevent the glaze from cracking.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a 9-inch round baking pan. Just be sure to line the pan with parchment paper before pouring in the cheesecake batter.
  • To make a chocolate ganache glaze, simply melt chocolate chips and heavy cream together in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • You can also use a store-bought chocolate glaze or frosting to top the cheesecake.

Conclusion:

This chocolate-glazed cheesecake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Feel free to experiment with different flavors of chocolate or toppings. No matter how you make it, this cheesecake is sure to be a hit!
