Description
Indulge in a rich Dark Chocolate Blackberry Cheesecake that combines creamy textures and bold flavors for an unforgettable dessert experience
Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups cream cheese, room temperature
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup sour cream
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa), melted and slightly cooled
1 ½ cups fresh blackberries
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until well blended. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
Step 2: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Ensure there are no lumps.
Step 3: Mix in the sour cream, followed by the eggs one at a time, ensuring everything is incorporated well. Add the vanilla extract and melted dark chocolate, mixing gently until fully combined.
Step 4: Fold the fresh blackberries into the cheesecake batter, being careful not to break them up too much.
Step 5: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes.
Step 6: Turn off the oven and crack the door, allowing the cheesecake to cool gradually. Remove from the oven after about an hour and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
