Chocolate basque cheesecake Recipe

Spanish · Dessert · 65 min total

A rich and creamy chocolate version of the classic burnt Basque cheesecake, with a caramelized exterior and a fudgy center.

Ingredients

• 24 oz (680g) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
• 1/2 cup (85g) dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 9-inch round cake pan with two overlapping sheets of parchment paper, leaving overhang.
2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla.
4. Sift cocoa powder over the mixture and beat on low until combined.
5. Gently melt dark chocolate with heavy cream in a microwave or double boiler until smooth. Let cool slightly.
6. Pour melted chocolate mixture into the batter and fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
7. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the top is deeply browned and the center jiggles slightly.
8. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
9. Remove from pan using parchment overhang. Slice and serve cold or at room temperature.

Tips

• Use high-quality dark chocolate for best flavor.
• Cheesecake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• Let cheesecake come to room temperature for 15 minutes before serving for creamier texture.
