Cheesecake Tips

1. Let you cream cheese go to room temperature. This will allow you to blend everything easier and will give you a nice smooth finish.
2. Whip your cream until it is nice and stiff! It should be able to hold its form well.
3. I use a springform cake pan to remove my cheesecake easier. I also place baking paper at the bottom which I lock into place with the springform pan for easier removal of the cheesecake!

How to Make Chocolate Cheesecake (Step by Step)

1. Let your cream cheese go to room temperature.
2. Blend with a hand whisk or electric whisk the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and salt.
3. Melt the dark chocolate a double boiler or microwave until it’s smooth.
4. While chocolate is melting boil water and mix gelatine into the water giving it a quick stir.
5. Separate the cream cheese mixture into 2 equal parts.
6. Add the dark chocolate into one and stir well and the peanut butter into the other and stir well.
7. With a hand blender add half the gelatine into one and rest of the gelatine into the other while whisking.
8. Whisk the cream until it is thick and holds its shape well.
9. Fold half into the chocolate mixture then fold the rest into the peanut butter mixture.
10. Layer your cheesecake alternating between chocolate and peanut butter into your premade pie base. I pour into a 9 in springform pan for easier release.
11. Place into the fridge and let it harden over night!

For the chocolate and peanut butter topping

1. Melt the chocolate and cream in a double boiler and stir well. Decorate the top of your cheesecake as you wish!
2. Mix the peanut butter, honey, and cream together until well incorporated. Then decorate the top of your cheesecake as you like! I used a little spatula and did lines going one way then lines going across.

How To Store Chocolate Cheesecake

You can store your cheesecake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days!

You can also pre slice your cheesecake and store it in an airtight container in the freezer. Simple take out the whole cake or pieces of the cheesecake and allow to dethaw in the fridge. It will dethaw and taste just as good! Taste best if eating within 1 month from the freezer but can last up to 3 months.
