Polka Dot Cheesecake is a really gorgeous treat. The texture is just perfect and the flavor is out-of-this-world delicious. Yummy! Bake this.
You will need:
For the crust:
- 1 cup Graham crumbs
- 1/4 cup cocoa
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
For the filling:
- 16 oz softened cream cheese
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 oz dark chocolate, melted
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- 2/3 cup sour cream.
Directions:
- Preheat the oven at 300F, grease the square pan and line it with parchment paper.
- Mix together all the ingredients for the crust into a small bowl, and press into the pan.
- Take the cream cheese and beat it until it gets smooth, gradually adding the sugar.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and in a low speed, add the eggs one at a time.
- Put the vanilla and sour cream in, scrape the sides one more time and beat until smooth.
- Put aside 1/2 cup of this cream cheese filling, and pour the rest into the pan, and smooth the edges.
- Melt the 2 ox of dark chocolate and stir it up into the 1/2 cup of the cream cheese filling.
- To make the dots you will need a pastry bag and a round tip to fit it with,
- Fill the bag with the chocolate mixture,
- Gently dip the tip of the bag into the plain cheesecake and squeeze the bag, forming a dot,
- Place these dots all over your cheesecake until you finish the chocolate mixture. Bake in the oven for one hour, after that turn off the oven, but leave the cheesecake in the oven for one hour more.
- Refrigerate for a minimum of 24 hours before you server it.
