Allison is excited to make this ultimate chocolate cheesecake for her chocolate-obsessed boys this weekend!
Chocolate Cheesecake
Ingredients:
- 24 Oreo Cookies , crushed to fine crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 24 ounces cream cheese , softened (very important)
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Chocolate Cheesecake Instructions:
1. Mix the Oreo cookies and butter in a medium bowl then press the crumb mixture into a 9″ springform pan up the sides 1″ high and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
2. Melt chocolate chips in microwave in 30 second increments (total of 90 seconds), stirring each time in between until completely smooth.
3. In your stand mixer add the cream cheese, sugar and flour until completely smooth (this is why we need softened cream cheese, if it is too cold you’ll have small chunks of cream cheese here).
4. Add in the eggs one at a time until each one is fully mixed in, then with the mixer going on low speed pour in the melted chocolate.
5. Add in the sour cream and vanilla until smooth, then pour the mixture carefully into the chilled springform pan.
6. Set the bottom of the cheesecake in foil (read water bath directions above) and place in water bath, then place in oven.
7. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 55 – 60minutes.
8. Open the door to the oven about 4-5 inches and let cool for 2 hours in the partially opened oven before removing and refrigerating for 4-6 hours before serving.
