Ingredients
-
50 g Melted Butter
-
1 pinch salt
-
200 g melted chocolate, cooled
-
500 g cream cheese
-
2 Tablespoon Corn Starch
-
3 eggs
-
2 egg yolks
-
chocolate Powder (to taste)
-
Chocolate almonds (to taste)
Preparation Method
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Grease a mold, preferably with a removable base, with butter. Cover the base on the outside with two aluminum sheets.
- In a food processor, chop the cookies, then add the melted butter and a pinch of salt. When you have everything together, cover the bottom of the mold and with the help of a spoon, smooth the mixture well. Refrigerate it to solidify a little.
- Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a bain-marie with a pinch of salt. Once melted, remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In the mixer, beat the Philadelphia cheese with the sour cream, until it becomes a soft cream, in lumps.
- Add the sugar, cornstarch, and eggs. Beat everything very well until you get a homogeneous cream.
- Then add the chocolate and stir until the chocolate is dissolved in this mixture.
- Pour over the cookie shape and let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes so that there are no air bubbles.
- Meanwhile, boil about 500ml of water.
- Place the mold on a tray and put it in the oven, but first, pour the hot water over the tray, never going beyond half the height of the mold. Leave in the oven for about 40 to 50 minutes. Always confirm that the tray still has water, if not add a little more hot water.
- After this time, turn off the oven, and remove the cheesecake. He’ll look like he’s not ready, in the middle, but that’s how it is. Remove aluminum.
- With the help of a small spatula, go all the way around the cheesecake so that it comes out of the mold, to prevent it from splitting in the middle when it returns to its normal shape.
- Put it back in the oven, but this time with the door open.
- Allow to cool completely and then transfer to the fridge. Preferably overnight.
- The next day, sprinkle with powdered chocolate and decorate with chocolate almonds.
