Rich, indulgent and decadent, this Dark Chocolate Cheesecake is not for the faint of heart.
With 10 ounces of dark chocolate and cocoa powder in the cheesecake filling, a chocolate biscuit base and a thick dark chocolate ganache topping (another 6 ounces of dark chocolate), this is a chocolate extravaganza.
All up, 16 ounces of dark chocolate and 32 ounces of cream cheese. For those of you in metric – that’s almost half a kilo of dark chocolate and a whopping kilo of cream cheese. Fainted yet?
With all that dark chocolate and cream cheese, this is a rich, dense cheesecake best served in small slices – to begin with at least.
