New York Chocolate Cheesecake

[BeezeeBee]

This is my older boys' favourite cheesecake. It's more work than the ILB chocolate cake 😁 but it's oh so delicious. Very decadent, especially if you cover with ganache 😋



170g Oreo (remove the cream centres)
110 g caster sugar
40 g unsalted butter
500 g cream cheese, softened at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tbsp flour
3 eggs
200g sour cream
200g  dark choc (I used Lindt 70%), melted


1. Preheat oven to 160c fan forced.
2. Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 22 cm spring-form pan.
3. Place biscuits and cubed butter in TM bowl and crush 5-6 seconds, speed 6-7.  Then cook 2 minutes, 90°, speed 3. Press onto the bottom of springform pan and set aside.
4. Combine cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract  in TM bowl and blend 20 seconds, speed 6. Scrape down sides and base.
5. Add the flour to the cream cheese mixture and beat 20 seconds, speed 6. Scrape down sides.
6. Add the melted chocolate and sour cream and mix 20 seconds, speed 6. Scrape down sides
7. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just blended.
8. Pour the batter into prepared pan and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the center is almost set.
9. Turn oven off and leave cheesecake in oven to cool with door ajar for about an hour.
10. Cool completely on a wire rack
11. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. Cheesecake may be made up to 2 days in advance before serving and will keep for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.

Serve the cheesecake covered with chocolate ganache ( http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=15506 ) and fruits.

Made this cheesecake for brother-in-law's birthday. My boys were very happy, as I hardly make this decadent dessert 😄 Everyone else enjoyed it too.

Lovely BZB, these types of dessert are more appreciated if they aren't made too frequently.  We have to keep some things for special occasions
