Chocolate Cheesecake


Well, sure you know that Cheesecake is not a very typical italian cake, but I made it for my girl's birthday and wanna share with you all. It's a variation of the classic New York cheesecake: i'll add chocolate and use chocolate biscuits for the basis. Let's see how to make it!

Ingredients (Metric and Imperial) for a 24cm (9 inches) cake tin

For the basis:

  • 300g of chocolate biscuits
  • 100g of melted butter.
Finely crumble the biscuits and mix them with the melted butter: put this mixture on the bottom of the cake tin and press it. Put the cake tin in the freezer for half an hour.

During this time, prepare your cheese cream:
Ingredients:


  • 450g (16 oz) of Ricotta cheese
  • 250g (9 oz) of cream cheese
  • 150g (5.5 oz)  of powdered sugar
  • 200g (7oz)  of plain melted chocolate
  •  40gr (1.5 oz)of cocoa powder
  •  2 eggs
Put in your mixer the ricotta, che cream cheese and the powdered sugar and mix them for 2-3 minutes, then add one by one the other ingredients untile you have your black yummy cream.
Now get your cake tinn off from the freezer and  fill it with the cream.
Put in the pre-heated oven at 350°F (180°C) for at least 45-50 minutes

Once cooked and cooled, put it in the fridge for at least 3 hours, then serve it with some vanilla ice cream or some sour cream.
