This Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake combines rich chocolate cheesecake with a swirl of tart raspberry puree and a glossy ganache topping — the perfect blend of indulgent and elegant.
Crust:
1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
1/4 cup melted butter
2 tbsp sugar
Filling:
24 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3 large eggs
8 oz dark chocolate, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup raspberry puree or jam
Ganache:
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 oz dark chocolate, chopped
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Mix crust ingredients, press into pan, and bake for 10 minutes. Cool.
Prepare raspberry puree and melt dark chocolate.
Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, cocoa, vanilla, eggs, and melted chocolate.
Layer batter and raspberry puree in pan; swirl gently.
Bake 55–65 minutes. Cool in oven 1 hour, then chill overnight.
Make ganache: pour hot cream over chocolate, whisk until smooth, spread over cheesecake. Chill.
Garnish with fresh raspberries before serving.
