Baked Chocolate Cheesecake Slice

What’s to love about this slice? It’s rich, smooth and indulgent! If you love cheesecake but counting calories, better give away the rest once you have tried a slice or two or you will end up finishing the tray. That’s how good these slices were … were … as in gone fast. 🙂For the chocolate base:

• 1- 1/2 cups plain chocolate biscuit crumbs
• 80g butter, melted
• 100 g chocolate dots or chips

Filling:

• 375 g cream cheese
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• 150 g white chocolate, melted

Topping:

• 150 g dark cooking chocolate, melted
• 2/3 cup sour cream

Method:

1.   Preheat oven to moderate 180C degrees. Brush a 20 x 30cm rectangular or lamington tin with melted butter.  Line with baking paper extending over long sides.

2.   Combine biscuit crumbs and butter in bowl; stir until combined. Press mixture into base of prepared tin. Sprinkle evenly with chocolate dots/chips.

3.   To make filling: Using electric beaters, beat cream cheese in small bowl until creamy; beat in sugar until smooth. Add eggs, gradually, beating well after each addition. Add the chocolate; beat until smooth. Spread mixture over prepared base. Bake for 30 minutes or until just set. Cool, cover and refrigerate until firm.

4.   To make topping:   Combine chocolate and sour cream in a small bowl; stand over a pan of simmering water. Stir until chocolate has melted and mixture is smooth. Spread evenly over the cheesecake, marking regular lines with a flat-bladed knife. Refrigerate until firm. Once firm, cut into slices and indulge!Counting of calories does not apply here or you can share the calories with your loved friends and families. 🙂
