Number Of Ingredients 21

CHOCOLATE CRUST:
4 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
1 cup unsalted butter
CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE FILLING:
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
CHOCOLATE MOUSSE:
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
1 tablespoon cold water
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons boiling water
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tablespoon vanilla
GARNISH:
Shaved semisweet or bittersweet chocolate
Whipped cream, aerosol or homemade

Steps:

  • CHOCOLATE CRUST: Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Remove the butter from the heat. Add the chocolate cookie crumbs to the butter and stir until all the crumbs are coated. Press the cookie crumb mixture onto the bottom and sides of a 10-inch springform pan. CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE LAYER: Prepare the cheesecake. Use an electric mixer to combine the cream cheese with the sugar, sour cream and vanilla, until creamy. Whisk the eggs in a small bowl and then blend them with the cream cheese mixture, just enough to incorporate the eggs. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the semisweet chocolate. Add the melted chocolate to the cheesecake mixture, stirring so that it is fully combined. Pour the cheesecake filling into the crust-lined pan and bake for about 12 minutes at 475°F, then turn the oven down to 350°F and bake for 50-60 more minutes or until the cheesecake top is lightly browned. CHOCOLATE MOUSSE In a small bowl, pour gelatin into the cold water and let it stand for a minute or two until it becomes soft, or "blooms." Add boiling water and stir until gelatin is completely dissolved. Cool slightly. In a medium bowl, stir together sugar and cocoa; Add the whipping cream and vanilla. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture while scraping the bottom of bowl occasionally. When the mixture has thickened, add the dissolved gelatin and beat until well blended. Cool the chocolate mousse in the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble the cake. ASSEMBLE THE CHEESECAKE: When the chocolate cheesecake has cooled, spread the chocolate mousse on top and sprinkle with shaved chocolate. Serve with a topping of whipped cream.

The cheesecake was a bit dry. I think it would be better with more cream cheese.

I found this cheesecake to be too sweet. I think it would be better with less sugar.

This cheesecake is a bit too rich for my taste. The mousse is very heavy and the cheesecake is very dense. I think it would be better with a lighter mousse or a less dense cheesecake.

I've tried several chocolate mousse cheesecake recipes and this one is by far the best. The mousse is so rich and creamy, and the cheesecake is perfectly dense. I highly recommend this recipe.

This cheesecake is amazing! It's rich and decadent, but not too heavy. The mousse is light and fluffy, and the cheesecake is creamy and smooth. I love the combination of chocolate and cheesecake.

This is the best chocolate mousse cheesecake I've ever had. The mousse is so smooth and creamy, and the cheesecake is perfectly dense. The two flavors go together perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate mousse, but this cheesecake changed my mind. The mousse is light and airy, and it doesn't overpower the cheesecake. The cheesecake itself is also very good, with a creamy texture and a perfect amount of sweetness.

This cheesecake is absolutely divine! The chocolate mousse is rich and decadent, while the cheesecake is creamy and tangy. The two flavors complement each other perfectly. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly.
