Description

Imagine sinking your fork into a slice of pure indulgence: a cheesecake so rich and creamy, it melts in your mouth with every bite. This isn't just any dessert; it's a decadent experience crafted to satisfy your deepest cravings. The foundation of this exquisite cheesecake is a delightful chocolate chip cookie crust, providing a subtle hint of cocoa and buttery goodness that perfectly complements the creamy filling.

Each crumb of the crust offers a gentle textural contrast to the smooth, velvety interior. The cheesecake filling itself is a masterpiece of simplicity and balance. Crafted from the finest cream cheese, heavy cream, and a touch of sour cream, it achieves a harmonious blend of tanginess and richness.

The cream cheese provides the signature cheesecake flavor, while the heavy cream contributes to its luxurious texture. The addition of sour cream introduces a subtle tartness, preventing the cheesecake from becoming overly heavy and adding a layer of complexity to the overall taste. The filling is lightly sweetened, allowing the natural flavors of the dairy to shine through, creating a delicate and nuanced sweetness that isn't overpowering.

Once the cheesecake has been baked to perfection and chilled to a cool, firm consistency, it's time for the final touch: a luscious chocolate ganache. The ganache, made from melted dark chocolate and heavy cream, drapes the cheesecake in a smooth, glossy blanket of intense chocolate flavor. As the ganache sets, it forms a slightly firm yet yielding layer that cracks satisfyingly under the pressure of your fork.

The combination of the creamy cheesecake, the chocolate chip cookie crust, and the rich chocolate ganache creates a symphony of flavors and textures that will leave you wanting more. It's the perfect dessert for any occasion, whether you're celebrating a special event or simply treating yourself to a moment of pure bliss. Each element of this cheesecake is carefully considered, resulting in a dessert that is both comforting and sophisticated.

It's a celebration of simple ingredients transformed into something truly extraordinary.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat an oven to 350 F. Prepare the crust by melting the butter and combining it with the almond flour, xanthan gum, baking soda, kosher salt, cup sweetener, vanilla extract and one egg. Mix to combine well.
    2.
    Add cup sugar free chocolate chips and mix well.
    3.
    Press into the bottom of an 8 springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove and set aside while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
    4.
    Prepare the cheesecake filling by creaming room temperature cream cheese with the additional sweetener, vanilla, sour cream and cup heavy cream.
    5.
    Mix well then add the two eggs.
    6.
    Pour over the still warm cookie dough crust. This will allow the cookie dough crust to come up the sides of the pan when baking. Place a 9 x 13 pan in the oven filled with of water. Then bake the cheesecake for 40-45 minutes until the center is still slightly jiggly.
    7.
    Allow to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes and then chill in the refrigerator completely.
    8.
    Once the cheesecake is chilled, prepare the ganache by combining cup sugar free chocolate chips and cup heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl. Heat on high for 30 seconds and stir the cream and chocolate until it comes together. Pour over the cheesecake and spread evenly. Chill again until firm. Cut cheesecake using a hot knife which has been placed under hot water and then dried with a towel to help make nice, even cuts. Serve chilled!
