Yield 1 cheesecake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

200 g pecan meal (7 ounces) or 200 g whole pecans
50 g butter, melted (1 3/4 ounces)
1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed to measure
1/4 cup desiccated coconut
1/4 cup plain flour or 1/4 cup gluten-free flour
1 cup golden raisin
1/2 cup Kahlua or 1/2 cup other coffee liqueur
1/4 cup boiling water
4 teaspoons gelatin
500 g cream cheese, softened (approx 1 pound)
1/2 cup brown sugar
125 g dark chocolate, melted (4 ounces)
300 ml heavy cream (thickened cream, 10 fl.oz. or 1.2 cups)
300 ml heavy cream (thickened cream)
1 tablespoon Kahlua or 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur
3 tablespoons grated chocolate or 3 tablespoons chocolate curls, for decoration
14 pecans

Steps:

Preheat oven to 180°C (300°F ) or 160°C (320°F ) if fan forced.
Combine the golden raisins and the half cup of Kahlua in a small bowl. Cover in clingwrap. The raisins will absorb most of the liqueur. Set aside.
Grease and line the base and sides of a 22cm (8 2/3 inches) round springform round tin. A smaller tin will result in a higher cheesecake with a thicker base. A larger tin will have a very fine base and not be as tall.
Combine all of the ingredients for the base in a bowl. Mix with a spoon until thoroughly combined.
Press the base mixture into the base of the prepared cake tin (do not press the mixture up the sides). Press down firmly.
Bake the base in a preheated oven 10 minutes. The base should not be a golden cover. Remove from oven- cool and put aside, or refrigerate until required.
In a small bowl thoroughly mix the boiling water and the gelatine. Stir until the gelatine dissolves. Set aside.
Beat the cream cheese with the brown sugar, until smooth and creamy. Best to use electric beaters for this step.
Add the gelatine mixture, the melted chocolate and any of the Kahlua that you can drain from the soaking raisins, to the cream cheese mixture. Beat well to combine.
In a separate bowl, beat the 300mls of cream until soft peaks form.
Fold firstly the beaten cream into the cream cheese mixture. Then lightly fold in the soaked golden raisins.
Pour the cheese mixture over the base in the springform tin. Level and smooth over the top of the cheesecake using a spoon. Refrigerate for several hours, or overnight.
For the topping. Whip the remaining 300mls cream with the tablespoon of Kahlua, until thick.
Spread the cream over the cooled cheesecake. Sprinkle with chocolate and decorate the edges of the cheesecake with the additional pecans.

Top the cheesecake with fresh fruit or whipped cream for a special touch.
