I saved the famous Philadelphia cream cheese for a classic cheesecake. NY, and today I will show you how to make chocolate cheesecake using the equally famous Mascarpone dessert cheese.

I hasten to upset avid culinary skeptics and critics: the chocolate cheesecake with mascarpone turned out very tasty with the “right” appearance. Therefore, the world has not come together in a wedge at Philadelphia, and if you want to bake cheesecakes, you can safely experiment with other cream cheese producers.

We will bake our homemade chocolate cheesecake in the oven using a water bath to ready dessert retained a perfectly flat surface (no cracks).

Ingredients for the moldD-20 cm:

  • 500 gr. Mascarpone cheese;
  • 100 gr. dark chocolate;

Let's cook butter cream. In a convenient container, combine the entire portion of cream cheese and powdered sugar. Mix carefully with a whisk. Under no circumstances should you beat the chocolate cheesecake mixture with a mixer, so that during baking in the dessert, air bubbles do not come to the surface in the form of cracks. This is why it is always better to use powdered sugar than sugar in cheesecakes to avoid intense whipping.

Heat the cream in a small saucepan and melt 80 g of chocolate in it. Stir with a spoon until the mixture becomes a smooth chocolate emulsion.

Pour it into the sweet cheese mixture.

Mix with a spoon cheese-chocolate cream. The chocolate buttercream for the cheesecake is ready.

Before submitting to cheesecake table should stand at room temperature for 1.5-2 hours, only after all the above manipulations and movements can you serve chocolate cheesecake at home on the table.

Cooking secrets

To prevent the curd from releasing whey during the beating process, place it in a cloth bag or gauze and hang it for two to three hours. The same effect can be achieved if you choose dry cottage cheese.

The cottage cheese will combine better with the other components of the filling if you give it room temperature. But the cream must be cold.

Culinary experts advise baking dessert in a water bath. To do this, place the cake in the oven in a container half filled with boiling water. The main thing is to make sure that drops of water do not fall on the cake. You can find other cottage cheese cheesecake recipes in.

Hi all!

Is there anyone here who doesn't like cheesecake? I don't think there are any here.

Although we traditionally consider cheesecake summer dessert, today's chocolate cheesecake turned out to be definitely winter: firstly, it is baked in the oven, and secondly, it turns out rich, dense, very chocolatey, with a distinct cheese taste. Yes, in fact, in the summer he will marry an equally sweet soul.

This is one of the very successful versions of New York chocolate cheesecake that is baked in the oven. This curd and cream cheese version is not very different in taste from the classic, but it is more economical.

Half the cream cheese we're here replace with cottage cheese. So small but very effective confectionery trick. If you completely replace Philadelphia with cottage cheese, it will no longer be cheesecake, but chocolate cottage cheese casserole(which is also, in principle, not bad)…

And if you prepare this cheesecake only from cream cheese, it will turn out quite expensive.

Therefore, we choose the golden mean - neither ours nor yours, as they say.

Well, everything is very balanced and I assure you, no one will notice the substitution.

By the way, the cheese layer in this recipe is prepared using corn starch, without adding flour. So if you're avoiding flour products, you can use gluten-free cookies for the base and you will have an amazing diet chocolate cheesecake. On iherb you can order these cookies with home delivery . There is simply an endless selection of it. Use my promo code POR7412 to get a 5% discount.

If you don't have cream cheese, feel free to use cottage cheese. You can also use mascarpone, but keep in mind that the level of calories and fat in such a cheesecake will increase significantly.

I’ll say without a twinge of conscience, this is one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever made!

Cheesecake recipe

Ingredients:

For the base:

  • chocolate cookies 160 gr.
  • butter - 80 gr.

For the cheese layer:

  • cottage cheese, ≈10% fat - 250 gr.
  • cream cheese, Philadelphia type - 250 gr.
  • milk - 200 ml
  • vanilla essence - ½ tsp. or vanilla seeds - ½ pod
  • sugar - 120 gr.
  • eggs - 2 pcs.
  • starch - 50 gr.
  • cocoa - 20 gr.
  • dark chocolate - 200 gr.

To get rid of excess moisture, I advise you to first separate the excess whey by hanging the curd wrapped in several layers of gauze for 2 hours, or even overnight. But I assure you, no one will get hurt if you don’t do this and just find drier cottage cheese.

Preparation:


Decorate the finished cheesecake as desired and store in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.

And now, in all its glory, the manifestation of miracles confectionery art. I have no idea how the cookie base ended up on the sides of the pan??? You saw for yourself that I placed the cookies only on the bottom of the mold. And look how well it distributed itself during the baking process! I suspect this was due to the heaviness of the cheese layer collapsing onto the buttery cookie layer once melted in the oven. But I can’t be sure that you will have the same result, so we won’t focus on it.

Well, in general, that's all for now. If you don’t understand anything, ask questions in the comments ⇓

If you completely lack access to cream cheese I recommend preparing it, and for chocolate taste Replace half of the flour with cocoa + throw a bar of melted chocolate into the dough. I think it will be very, very good. Although, to be honest, I haven’t tried it myself. If anyone dares to experiment, write your impressions.

And if you have more sophisticated gourmet ambitions, then I send you straight to.

By the way, I remembered the other day one old good recipe no-bake chocolate cheesecake. I'll have to tell you at my leisure. A very cool and yet simple thing. Yes, Veronica?

With this, let me take my leave.

Good luck, love and patience.
