This lockdown has indeed put a ban on binging our favourite desserts from our favourite confectionaries. If you are craving your chocolate cheesecake but having second thoughts on ordering it, you can bake it in your home kitchen.
Here is an easy recipe that will give you all the pleasures of having a chocolate cheesecake. The good news is that you do not require an oven for that.
Ingredients
A packet of chocolate biscuits
1/4 cup of melted butter
2 cups of cream cheese (Make it at home with this easy recipe, check it out here)
2/3 cup of powdered sugar
1 tsp of vanilla extract
250 grams of roughly chopped dark chocolate
2.5 cup of heavy cream
1 bar of milk chocolate
Procedure
*Finely-crush a packet of biscuits and transfer it to a bowl. Next add 1/4 cup of melted butter and blend it well.
* Take a springform pan and pour the mixture into the pan. Refrigerate for an hour at least.
*Prepare the filling. In a big glass bowl, pour 2 cups of fresh cream cheese along with 2/3 cup of powdered sugar.
*Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and keep on beating the mixture until you get a smooth consistency.
*Melt 250 grams of roughly chopped dark chocolate and add it to the cream cheese mixture. Repeat the process again. Keep on beating the mixture until you get a nicely combined smooth mixture.
*In another bowl, pour 1 cup of heavy cream and whip it until it peaks. Take a spatula and fold this whipped heavy cream into chocolate and cream cheese mixture.
*Next, take the springform pan out of the refrigerator and add the folded mixture over the biscuit base.
*Keep it in the freezer for a good 1.5 hours. Now, roughly chop a bar of milk chocolate and add 1/2 cup of heavy cream to a thick-base pan. Add the roughly chopped chocolate pieces to the heavy cream and turn of the heat. Pour this chocolate mixture over the cream cheese paste and the again refrigerate it for at least 6 hours.
*Cut in slices and serve.
