Chocolate Cheesecake

Buat kek lagi....tapi kek ni tersangat lazat. Ini bukan kes nak bangga diri tau sebab bahan2 dalam kek ni menyerlahkan kelazatannya bukan la sebab saya pandai buat ke apa.

Kek ni saya buat sempena birthday kakak saya baru-baru ni. Memandangkan cream cheese sentiasa ja ada dalam peti ais, so saya derhaka sikit resepi ni daripada guna sour cream saya gantikan dengan cream cheese so lehla jadi ciskek...yum.

Resepi ni saya ambil dari Martha Steward dan ada sikit2 dari Nigella Lawson. Kedua-dua resepi ni suruh saya letak cookies kat base dia tapi memandangkan saya takdak cookies, so saya tak letakla.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 package (9 ounces) chocolate wafer cookies
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 4 bars (8 ounces each) cream cheese, room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup sour cream - ganti dengan cream cheese
• 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
• Chocolate Ganache, for topping

DIRECTIONS

1. STEP 1

   Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Assemble a 9-inch springform pan with the raised side of the bottom facing down.

2. STEP 2

   In a food processor, pulse cookies until finely ground. Add butter, and pulse to moisten. Transfer to prepared pan, and press crumbs firmly and evenly into the bottom. Place pan on a rimmed baking sheet; bake 10 minutes, and set aside.

3. STEP 3

   Wipe out bowl and blade of food processor. Add cream cheese, sugar, and salt; blend until smooth. With motor running, add eggs, then sour cream, and finally chocolate; blend filling until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.

4. STEP 4

   Pour filling onto crust, and bake just until set, 1 hour. Turn oven off, and let cheesecake sit 1 hour in oven, without opening (this helps prevent cracking).

5. STEP 5

   Run a thin knife around the edge of the pan (this helps prevent cracking, too); leave in pan, and cool completely on wire rack. Cover loosely and refrigerate, at least 6 hours or up to overnight.

6. STEP 6

   Prepare Chocolate Ganache. Unmold cheesecake. Spread ganache in center of cheesecake; let set before serving.
