Chocolate Basque Cheesecake combines rich dark chocolate with creamy cheese for a decadent, melt-in-your-mouth dessert. With a caramelized top and gooey center, it’s a chocolate lover’s dream!

Ingredients

13.5 oz (380 gr) cream cheese, softened

½ cup (100 gr) castor sugar

½ tsp vanilla paste or extract

3 eggs

5.3 oz (150 gr) dark chocolate, melted

1 tbsp (6 gr) cocoa powder

1 tbsp (7 gr) cornstarch

5/6 cup (200 ml) heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 445°F (230°C). Line a 6-inch/15 cm cake pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper extends 2 inches above the pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix cream cheese until smooth. Add castor sugar and vanilla paste, whisking until combined. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well between each addition.
  3. Incorporate melted dark chocolate, whisking gently. Sift in cocoa powder and cornstarch, whisk until well combined.
  4. Add heavy whipping cream, whisk until smooth.
  5. Pour batter into the pan, tap to remove air bubbles. Bake for 25 minutes at 430°F (220°C) until top is golden, center still jiggly.
  6. Let cool on a wire rack to room temperature. Refrigerate uncovered for at least 4 hours to set.
  7. Remove from the pan, peel back parchment paper, and serve either at room temperature for a gooey texture or chilled for firmer cheesecake.

Notes

Top with cocoa powder, fresh berries, or a drizzle of chocolate ganache for extra flavor.

This recipe is naturally gluten-free, but ensure all ingredients are certified gluten-free.
