Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delicious cheesecake:
-
For the crust:
-
1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
-
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
-
¼ cup granulated sugar
-
For the cheesecake filling:
-
4 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
-
1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
4 large eggs
-
1 cup sour cream
-
For the chocolate mousse layer:
-
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
-
1 ½ cups heavy cream
-
2 tbsp powdered sugar
-
For garnish:
-
Chocolate shavings
-
Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your cheesecake masterpiece:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for about 10 minutes and then let it cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and vanilla, mixing until creamy and well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Then add sour cream and mix until smooth.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door ajar for about an hour.
- Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- To prepare the chocolate mousse, melt the chopped chocolate in a microwave or double boiler, letting it cool slightly.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the melted chocolate until well incorporated.
- Once the cheesecake is fully set, spread the chocolate mousse over the top of the cheesecake. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
- Chill for another hour to allow the mousse to set. Just before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings and whipped cream if desired.
Enjoy this divine Tuxedo Mousse Cheesecake that brings together the best of chocolate and cheesecake in every creamy, rich bite!
