Chocolate cheesecake
November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ ConnieI’ve been dying to make this chocolate cheesecake since I saw Nigella Lawson make one in her TV cooking show. In fact, I was planning on baking the cheesecake on Valentine’s Day but the first three days of the week are always tight. I finally did it yesterday and… it’s just great. Just great! So simple. So easy. Best of all, it has two of my favorite things in the world — chocolate and cheese.
I must warn you though that I didn’t follow Nigella’s recipe except for the sour cream part. I stuck with Nigel Slater’s recipe, which I had earlier tweaked, but ditching the lemon and orange, and substituting chocolate instead. I also reduced the amount of sugar.
There are a lot of cooking chocolates in the market that you can use to make your chocolate cheesecake. Nigella used dark chocolate but I was worried that my kids would find it too strong. What I did was to combine white and premium chocolates to achieve that velvety chocolatey texture without fear that the cooked cheesecake would turn out too dark.

Sounds great, I will give it a try.
can i use a microwave oven here? i’ve been dying to try a cheesecake of my own… but i keep on wondering if i can bake it on my microwave oven… ty ms connie.
i really can’t tell, joe ann. i don’t cook with the microwave.
hi. do you have recipes of blueberry cheesecake? i’ve always wanted to make one, preferably no-bake sana (like using graham crumbs and chilling it na lang sa ref), ever since i tasted bag of beans blueberry cheesecake. i can’t go to tagaytay lagi din…and the traffic there is horrendous during the holidays and weekends. also, do you have a recipe of mango cream pie na mejo hawig sa red ribbon’s mango cream pie? i’ve been making mango torte instead, using layers of graham on top of cream na parang ref cake ang dating. i would like to try having the mangoes on top of a stiff cream lang instead na layered…kc i have a lot of mangoes ngayon eh. tnx!!!! i love your website.
hi miss connie,
it’s me again… i would like to know how to make the “overhangs” that u mentioned. what i have are round baking pans, yung parang aluminum na ginagamit pa nung unang panahon
i cannot access the link for the overhangs, laging error. can i just put the baking sheet as is or may ibang procedure how to do it? i’m new to baking and my husband is craving for a blueberry cheese cake. i wanted to try your cheese cake recipe, pwede kaya yun na base for the blueberry cheescake? di ba pang topping lang naman yung blueberry but the cake in itself is the same lang as the cheese cake? do i still need to bake the cheese cake o pwedeng freeze na lang din? kasi yours look soft na parang creme-brulee and im afraid na if i top it with blue berry (in can) baka malusaw or something, (or takot lang talaga ako mag bake baka kasi masayang ang ingredients)
thanks ulit!
