DARK CHOCOLATE MOCHA CHEESECAKE



Dark Chocolate Mocha Cheesecake image

This is very similar to recipe #414264, but I've altered the ingredients somewhat and include how to make the fun chocolate leaves to put on top. It's a snap to pull together with your mixer and doubles beautifully so you can gift one or freeze one for the future. I don't remember the recipe's providence, but EVERYONE, short of small children, loves this divine dessert.

  • Cool on counter for 45 min., cover & chill overnight.
  • Remove pan sides. Sprinkle with powdered sugar from a sieve to prettify and decorate with chocolate leaves (see below.).
  • CHOCOLATE LEAVES:.
  • Melt chocolate in double-boiler.
  • Brush on cleaned & dried fresh leaves (Ficus work well).
  • Place on small, paper-lined pan & freeze overnight.
  • Peel leaves & put back in the freezer until time to place on cake & serve.
  • HINT: leave stem on each leaf to hold onto as you brush on the melted chocolate. Be generous with the chocolate - too thin a layer and the leaf crumbles when you try to peel it. Pile them artfully in center or however you want and they just take the cake!

1 1/2- 2 Tbsp sugar or splenda
3 pkg cream cheese or reduced fat cream cheese
8 oz sour cream or fat free version
1 1/2 c sugar or splenda
3 eggs
4 oz use squares. semi sweet baking choc.
4 Tbsp coffee liquer. optional, but good
2 Tbsp instant coffee
hot fudge ice cream topping
2 heath bars for top of cheesecake

Steps:

  • 1. Crush grahams and melt butter. mix in the 1 1/2 T sugar or 2 T.Pat into springform pan. I use a 10 inch. Bake for 10 min.Drizzle hot fudge over the crust and set aside. I dont measure-but just drizzle-dont dump the fudge on.
  • 2. Beat cream cheese.add sour cream and eggs. beat till smooth. add sugar. beat until smooth.
  • 3. melt choc according to pkg directions. add chocolate and liquer and coffee granules to batter. blend well.
  • 4. Pour mixture onto crust. Bake until center is fairly well set. Stay in your kitchen...you dont want to burn this. I usually put a pan of 3 cups water on the lower rack of oven. at least 40 min.
  • 5. When baked, remove from oven and let cool slightly. when cooler, runa sharp knife around the pan and loosen ring of springform pan. Wehn cool all the way, drizzle hot fudge across the top and then crush heath bars and add these to top. Voila!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before you start. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overbeat the cheesecake batter. Overbeating can cause the cheesecake to be dense and dry.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the cheesecake to set properly.
