Ingredients
Scale
For the crust
- 200 g (7 oz) chocolate biscuits (like Oreos, without cream)
- 80 g (5 tbsp) butter, melted
For the cheesecake filling
- 500 g (2 cups) cream cheese, softened
- 200 g (1 cup) sour cream
- 150 g (¾ cup) sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp flour
- Zest of 1 lemon (optional for balance)
For the ganache topping
- 200 g (7 oz) dark chocolate, chopped
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 1 tbsp butter (for shine)
For decoration
- Fresh raspberries
- Assorted chocolate pieces (bars, pralines, or truffles)
- Chocolate shavings or cookie crumbs
Instructions
- Make the crust – Crush biscuits into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the base of a springform pan (lined with parchment). Chill while preparing filling.
- Prepare cheesecake filling – Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F). Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, vanilla, and flour; mix until combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently. Pour filling over crust. Bake in a water bath for 50–60 minutes, until the center is just set. Let cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Add ganache – Heat cream until steaming. Pour over chopped chocolate, let sit 2 minutes, then stir smooth. Add butter. Pour over chilled cheesecake, letting it drip over the sides.
- Decorate – Arrange fresh raspberries around the base and top. Add luxury chocolates or pralines in the center. Scatter with cookie crumbs or chocolate shavings for texture.
