Chocolate truffle cheesecake

Do we really have to wear bathing suits this summer ??

I know, we all know "yes" is the answer...

But could you seriously think of a world without a chocolate truffle cheesecake ?! I can't !!

Rich, creamy, delicious !!!

To make it even more perfect you can serve it with a strawberry olive oil and basil soup.

Yields : 9 inch springform pan
serves : 10

Here's what we need :

10 hours

1 1/2 cups crushed cookies, 4 tablespoons melted butter, 115g dark chocolate, 1 cup whipping cream, 230g cream cheese softened, 400g sweetened condensed milk, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 4 large eggs.


Here's what we do :

preheat your oven at 300°F.

Combine crushed cookies and melted butter.

Press on bottom of the springform pan.

Melt chocolate and whipping cream on medium heat in a "bain marie", put aside.

Beat cream cheese on medium speed until smooth.

Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract beating just until combined.

Add eggs one by one beating at low speed just until blended.

Add chocolate mixture beating just until blended.

Pour batter into prepared crust.

Bake 45 minutes (just until center is set).

Turn off the oven and let cheesecake stand in with the door closed for 30 minutes.

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and gently run a knife around over edge to loosen from side of the pan.

Cool completely.

Cover and chill for 8 hours.
