Description
Deliciously rich chocolate and fresh tangy raspberries create a delightful trifle combining brownie goodness with creamy cheesecake.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 8 oz dark chocolate, melted and cooled
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 oz dark chocolate, chopped
- Fresh raspberries and chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to create a crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- In a small saucepan, heat the fresh raspberries and sugar over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the melted dark chocolate and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust. Drop spoonfuls of the raspberry sauce onto this batter and swirl gently with a knife. Pour the remaining cheesecake batter over the top and swirl again.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. After that, remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and fold in the chopped dark chocolate. Spread this mixture on top of the cheesecake.
- Garnish with fresh raspberries and chocolate shavings before serving.
Notes
Make sure cream cheese is softened for smooth texture. Use gentle swirling for raspberry sauce.
