Cake
1 cup Godiva melting chocolate
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter
4 eggs, separated
1 teaspoon vanilla
Filling Ingredients
1 pound cream cheese, softened to room temperature
3 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup Godiva melting chocolate
Mousse
1 1/4 cups Godiva melting chocolate
14 ounces cold heavy cream
Ganache

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch springform pan. Melt the chocolate, vanilla, and butter for the flourless CAKE in a double boiler. Beat egg yolks with 1/2 cup sugar. Fold the chocolate mixture into the egg yolks. Beat egg whites until frothy. Gradually add remaining sugar, and beat to a stiff peak. Fold in the egg whites. Start the cheesecake FILLING by melting the chocolate in a double boiler or in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Beat remaining ingredients together in a large bowl until smooth. Pour the cake batter into the cake pan; carefully top with cheesecake batter. Bake for 40-50 minutes until firm. Chill for at least 4 hours. Make the MOUSSE by melting the chocolate in a double boiler. Remove from heat to cool. Beat the cream until somewhat thick. Beat in the melted chocolate until soft peaks form. Layer the mousse over the top of the cheesecake and chill. Start the GANACHE by adding the chocolate and butter to a food processor. Boil the cream with the sugar. Add the cream mixture to the food processor, add vanilla, and and process. Refrigerate until the ganache is spreadable, then spread over the cake. Refrigerate until chilled through. Slice the cake into 12 equal servings. Top each slice with whipped cream and a chocolate square, and serve.
