NO-BAKE TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE



No-Bake Triple Chocolate Cheesecake image

Cheesecake is a favorite in my family so I'm always looking for new spins on the classic. As a chocolate lover I couldn't resist creating a totally chocolate cheesecake, and it doesn't even require you to turn on the oven. The texture is dense and luscious, so you'll never suspect that this cheesecake is a no-bake version.

Number Of Ingredients 16

Cooking spray
30 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed into fine crumbs (about 3 cups)
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
Pinch salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Three 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/3 cups confectioners' sugar (5 1/2 ounces)
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Pinch salt
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
8 ounces chopped semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled
3 ounces semisweet baking chocolate, chopped
2/3 cup heavy cream
6 strawberries, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • For the crust: Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by turning the base of the pan over so that the lip of the base is on the underside. Lock pan in place. Spray the pan with cooking spray and place a round of parchment in the bottom.
  • Stir the cookie crumbs, sugar, cocoa and salt together in a medium bowl. Stir in the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Pour the crumbs into the prepared pan. Start by pressing the crumbs all the way up the sides of the pan so that they are just under a 1/4 inch thick. Spread the remaining crumbs evenly across the bottom of the pan. Use a flat-bottom glass or measuring cup to compact the bottom and sides of the crust. Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the filling.
  • For the filling: Melt the chocolate in a double boiler set over (not in) simmering water. Set aside to cool.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese at medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Stop and scrape the bowl and paddle. Add the sugar, cocoa and salt and combine on low speed. Raise the speed to medium-high and beat for 30 seconds. Scrape the sides of the bowl.
  • Add the heavy cream and vanilla and mix on low speed until combined. Raise the speed to medium-high and beat for 30 seconds. Add the cooled chocolate and mix on low until combined. Scrape the bowl. Turn the mixer to high speed and beat for 30 seconds.
  • Scrape the filling into the chilled crust and spread it towards the edge of the pan. Use an offset
  • spatula to spread the filling up against the edge of the crumb crust and smooth the top. Set
  • aside while preparing the ganache.
  • For the ganache: Place the chopped chocolate in a small bowl. Place the cream in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until just simmering. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and cover the bowl; let sit for 1 minute. Uncover and whisk gently until smooth. Pour the ganache over the top of the cheesecake and gently tip the pan to so the ganache to spreads to the edge of the crust. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or preferably overnight; to avoid ruining the surface of the ganache, do not cover the cheesecake until the ganache has set, and then do so carefully.
  • To unmold the cheesecake, gently run a butter knife between the edge of the ganache and the pan. Unlatch the pan, remove the ring and gently slide and offset spatula between the cheesecake and the pan bottom. Remove the parchment and place the cheesecake on a serving plate. Arrange the strawberry halves in a ring around the top of the cheesecake if using. For neat slices, cut the cheesecake with a sharp knife dipped in warm water and dried.

This recipe is super-rich, super-decadent and super-easy. If you can whip cream and melt chocolate you can make this recipe. It needs to be chilled overnight. Which makes it the perfect prepare-ahead dessert.

Time P1DT15m

Yield 1 9inch cheesecake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

200 g ginger nut biscuits
30 g butter
250 g mascarpone
170 ml double cream
200 g Greek yogurt
200 g good quality dark chocolate (min. 70% cocoa solids, I recommend Lindt or similar quality)
extra good quality chocolate, to grate for decoration (optional)

Steps:

  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start.
  • Melt the butter over a low heat.
  • Crush the ginger nut biscuits while the butter is melting.
  • Stir crushed biscuits into the melted butter.
  • Pour mixture into a 9-inch springform tin and press down evenly to form base for cheesecake.
  • Place in fridge to chill.
  • Melt chocolate gently in bowl suspended over simmering water (water shouldn't touch the bowl).
  • Whip double cream til it forms peaks.
  • In another bowl mix half the mascarpone and half the yogurt.
  • Pour half the melted chocolate into the whipped cream and mix immediately (it is important that the whipped cream is not chilled at this point or the chocolate will set too quickly. If this does happen (end up with a speckled brown and white mix instead of a smooth, homogenous brown mix) pop into the microwave for 20 seconds the).
  • Pour the rest of the melted chocolate into the mascarpone/yogurt mix and mix immediately (same points as above apply about chocolate setting too quickly).
  • Spread the chocolately mascarpone/yogurt mix over the biscuit base.
  • Spread the chocolately double cream over the mascarpone/yogurt mix.
  • Mix the remainder of the yogurt and mascarpone together and spread over the top of the double cream (it will probably mix together and become a bit chocolately but that's fine).
  • Chill overnight.
  • Decorate with grated chocolate if you wish.

A GOOEY, DECADENT CHOCOLATE CAKE



A Gooey, Decadent Chocolate Cake image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     dessert

Time 2h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 1/2 cups cake flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
3 1/2 ounces dark chocolate, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups cold water
Raspberry liqueur, such as Chambord, for drizzling
Nonstick cooking spray
Chocolate Chip Buttercream, recipe follows
Dark chocolate shavings, for decoration
3 cups powdered sugar
7 tablespoons hot water
4 ounces dark chocolate, melted and cooled
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup semisweet dark chocolate, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the cooled chocolate and vanilla and beat for 3 minutes to incorporate. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat for another 3 minutes. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients in three batches, alternating with the cold water. Beat for 1 minute after each addition to incorporate the ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth.
  • Coat two 9-inch round cake pans with nonstick cooking spray. Cut 2 circles of parchment paper to fit the pan bottoms and place them inside the pans; then spray the paper for added non-stick insurance. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and smooth the surface with a spatula; the pans should be two-thirds full. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The cake is cooked when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake springs back when touched. Leave to cool for 40 minutes.
  • Turn the cakes out of the pans and remove the paper. Drizzle them with a few tablespoons of raspberry liqueur. With a metal spatula, spread 1/2 cup Chocolate Chip Buttercream on top of one of the layers. Start in the center and work your way out. Carefully place the second layer on top. Smooth the sides with buttercream, and then spread the rest over the top so that the cake is completely covered. Refrigerate for 5 minutes before decorating or cutting.
  • With a large knife, scrape some shavings from a block of dark chocolate. Scatter the shavings over the cake.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, dissolve the powdered sugar and water at low speed. Beat in the dark chocolate and vanilla. Add the butter gradually in small bits. Mix until everything is completely incorporated. Using a spatula, fold in the chopped chocolate and give a final quick spin.
