Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Crust:
  • Wrap the outside of a 9-inch springform pan with 2 layers of foil.
  • In a food processor, combine the graham crackers, sugar, cocoa powder and salt; process until the mixture is all fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse until well mixed.
  • Pour crumb mixture into the bottom of pan and press into a smooth layer.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, until just firm. Remove from oven and let cool.
  • Cheesecake:
  • In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla until light and creamy. Add the flour, then the eggs 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the sour cream, mix until smooth.
  • Pour the mixture over the crust in the springform pan. Place the cheesecake in a large roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
  • Bake for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Transfer cake to a cooling rack and let cool for 30 minutes. Refrigerate and let chill while preparing ganache.
  • Raspberry Ganache:
  • Using a food processor, pulse chocolate into small bits. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, bring heavy cream to a boil over medium heat. Pour over chocolate and add raspberry jam. Mix until smooth. Ganache will be about as thick as frosting. If it is too thick, thin with a little cream or milk.
  • Pour ganache over cheesecake and spread out evenly. Return cheesecake to fridge and chill until ganache has firmed.
