CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE WITH GRAHAM CRACKER CRUNCH



Chocolate Cheesecake With Graham Cracker Crunch image

It's worth tasting a few brands of graham crackers to find one you particularly like - preferably one with whole-wheat flour and a good dash of salt and honey or molasses. Try a health-food store or Whole Foods for organic and low-sugar brands. (Graham flour was devised in the 19th century as a healthful alternative to white flour.) Fresh, fluffy cream cheese with a minimum of fillers and stabilizers is also worth seeking out for this recipe. This recipe works fine with supermarket cream cheese and graham cracker crumbs (or dark chocolate cookie crumbs) in the crust, but the filling must be made with top-quality chocolate to get the full effect: milky cream cheese, tangy sour cream and the slight bitterness of chocolate playing against the sweet crunch of the crust. That's how it's been made since 1984 at the Saltry restaurant in Halibut Cove, off the southern Alaska coast. All of the ingredients (as well as the equipment, furniture, staff and customers) arrive by boat - except for the magnificent salmon, oysters, halibut, cod and mussels that are caught or harvested nearby.

Time 2h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups/170 grams graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup/100 grams light brown sugar
4 tablespoons/50 grams (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup/250 milliliters sour cream
8 ounces/250 grams best-quality semisweet chocolate, preferably Callebaut, broken into pieces
1 1/2 pounds/700 grams cream cheese
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
3 eggs
3 or 4 graham crackers
2 tablespoons/25 grams unsalted butter
Chocolate ganache (optional; see recipe)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 250 degrees. Line a 9- or 10-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and melted butter, and use fingers to mix well. Press firmly into prepared pan, evenly covering the bottom and about 1/2 inch up the sides. Refrigerate until ready to bake.
  • In a microwave or the top of a double boiler, heat sour cream and chocolate together just until chocolate is melted. Mix until smooth.
  • In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and fluffy, at least 2 minutes. Mix in eggs one at a time. At low speed, gradually pour in chocolate mixture and mix until smooth.
  • Pour filling over the crust in the pan and bake about 1 1/2 hours, until top is set and dry but still jiggles in the center when you shake the pan.
  • Set aside to cool and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 2 days.
  • For garnish, place graham crackers in a thick sealable plastic bag and crush, using your hands or a pot, into irregular crumbs. In a small skillet, melt butter until it foams. Add crumbs and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted and fragrant.
  • When ready to serve, gently remove sides of springform pan. Serve chilled cheesecake in slices, sprinkled with crumbs and drizzled with chocolate ganache (if using).

PLUM GRAHAM CRACKER CRUMBLE



Plum Graham Cracker Crumble image

As plums bake, their tartness mellows and their juices jelly - just a couple reasons why they do so well in pies, cobblers and this crumble, which is essentially an upside-down graham cracker-crusted pie. If you don't have graham crackers on hand, vanilla wafers will work nicely too, but you'll need to cook a little longer. Be sure to press the graham crackers into a single layer instead of scattering clumps of it over the plums; doing so creates a sturdy but delicate topping that won't drown in a sea of plum juice. Keep this plum crumble simple, or add extra spices like ground ginger, cinnamon or nutmeg.

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound/450 grams black plums (about 4 large plums), pitted and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 1/2 cups)
5 tablespoons/55 grams packed brown sugar
1/4 cup/35 grams plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 sleeve (9 sheets)/145 grams graham crackers, crushed into fine crumbs using a food processor or in a resealable bag using a rolling pin
6 tablespoons/85 grams unsalted butter (3/4 stick), melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. To an 8-inch square (or round) baking dish, add the plums, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toss everything together to coat and set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the remaining 1/4 cup flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • In a small bowl, combine the butter and vanilla. Using a spoon, mix it into the graham cracker mixture until the crumbs are evenly moist, then spread it over the plums, pressing down with your palms to create an even, compact layer.
  • Bake about 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and hardened and plum juice is bubbling up along the edges of the pan. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

GRAHAM CRACKER CRUNCH TOPPING



Graham Cracker Crunch Topping image

I found this on the back of a box of Kroger box of graham crackers. It really is good. As stated on the box, if you are going to put this on chocolate ice cream,try using orange or mint extract rather than vanilla. Also, when using chocolate ice cream, you may want to omit the cinnamon. I tried it on the chocolate ice cream, and left the cinnamon in, and I thought it tasted great. Guess it's a personal thing.
