Chocolate Cheesecake - Goal!!!

I enjoy playing football(some may refer to it as soccer,but NO it's football) quite a fair bit, ok ok "ALOT" is more like it. I love the excitement, the creativity and of course the feeling of content when a goal is scored. As of recent I'm beginning to enjoy baking a fair bit too, somehow I find the the excitement quite similar to football... especially when the the cake comes out right


So, I decided to try and bake a cheese cake for the first time.

I used lite cream cheese, and later realised it was too healthy for me.

and , out came the melted chocolate to even the playing field.


Tasting time... and GOAL!!! - Bended it like David Beckham


Ingredients


  • 1 x 250g pkt biscuits
  • 140g butter, melted
  • 2 x 250g pkts cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 x 300g ctn sour cream
  • 155g (3/4 cup) caster sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 tsp vanilla essence

Extras
chocolate to taste and cream/or milk ( mixed in a bowl over slow boiling water)



How

  1. Place the biscuits in the bowl or a food processor and process until finely crushed( I used a pestle and mortar). Add the butter and process until well combined. Transfer to the lined pan. Use the back of a spoon or a straight-sided glass to spread and press the biscuit mixture firmly over the base and side of the pan. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.
  2. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 160°C. Place the cream cheese, sour cream and sugar in the clean bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla, and process until well combined.

  3. Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared pan. Bake in oven for 1 hour or until just set in the centre. Turn oven off. Leave the cheesecake in the oven, with the door slightly ajar, until cooled completely (this will prevent the cake from cracking). Let It cool down for an hour or so. 4.Remove the cheesecake from the pan, and pour the chocolate mix on the cake

I've never heard of chocolate cheesecake before, but this is a delicious twist - I'm definitely going to find time to try this one day. I'll probably have to be a little more patient cause the last time it turned out uncooked :(
