  • Author: Sarah
  • Total Time: 5 hours 20 minutes (including chilling time)
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Description

A rich and creamy cheesecake featuring the perfect pairing of dark chocolate and tart raspberries. This showstopping dessert is ideal for celebrations or indulgent evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (200g) Oreos or chocolate wafer cookies, crushed
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) melted butter
  • 24 ounces (680g) cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces (225g) dark chocolate, melted
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh or thawed raspberries
  • Additional fresh raspberries for topping
  • Melted dark chocolate for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Crush 2 cups (200g) of Oreos or chocolate wafer cookies in a food processor until fine. Combine with 6 tablespoons (85g) of melted butter and press into the bottom of a greased springform pan. Bake for 8 minutes, then let cool.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 24 ounces (680g) of cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 cup (200g) of sugar and mix until creamy. Beat in 3 room-temperature eggs, one at a time. Add 1 cup (240ml) of heavy cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Finally, melt 8 ounces (225g) of dark chocolate and fold it into the filling.
  4. Pour half the filling onto the crust. Add a layer of raspberries (about 1 cup or 150g), then pour the remaining filling on top.
  5. Place the springform pan in a water bath (wrap the pan in foil to prevent leaks) and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let it cool inside for 30 minutes before removing.
  6. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight. Top with fresh raspberries and drizzle with melted dark chocolate before serving.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients to avoid lumps in the filling. If the top cracks, cover it with toppings like raspberries or melted chocolate. Cheesecake tastes even better after chilling overnight.
