Water Bath Chocolate Cheesecake
Ingredients
Base
- 250g chocolate biscuits
- 50g coconut oil or butter
Cheese mixture
- 1kg cream cheese
- 4 eggs
- 100g sugar
- 50g potato starch
- 100g milk chocolate
- 200ml heavy cream
Cream topping
- 300ml heavy cream
- 20g sugar
- 1 teaspoon gelatin
- 1 tablespoon water
Chocolate glaze
- 4 chocolate bars
- 1 tablespoon milk
Preparation
Crush the biscuits and mix with melted fat, then press into the bottom of a silicone mold with a diameter of 23cm
Melt chocolate in cream and set aside to cool, while mixing cheese with eggs, starch, and sugar until combined, then add the chocolate mixture and pour over the base
Preheat oven to 180°C, place the silicone mold in a larger pan, pour boiling water into the larger pan until it reaches halfway up the mold sides
Bake until water boils, about 10 minutes, then reduce temperature to 150°C and bake for 50 minutes, totaling 60 minutes in the oven
Turn off the oven, slightly open the door, and leave the cheesecake inside until the water cools, then remove and refrigerate overnight to cool completely
After chilling, remove cheesecake from mold and prepare the cream by soaking gelatin in water, whipping cream with sugar, heating gelatin, adding it to the whipped cream, and spreading over the top
For the glaze, melt chocolate with milk and spread over the cream topping
Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving
Tips
Place the silicone mold inside a larger pan before adding the base and cheese mixture to ensure proper water bath setup
