Chocolate Cheesecake

by Posted on

Hi guys!

I’m sharing a fantastic dessert from The Boyfriend today. On Wednesday, I tried to make a Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake. I failed. Massively. The Boyfriend felt so bad for me, he made this divine Chocolate Cheesecake! That’s what I call true love. Especially because The Boyfriend has nothing with desserts. He did it just for me ❤

I always say chocolate is the answer for anything and I stick with it. I did feel bad about my failed cheesecake, but when I came home to this delicious surprise, I felt happy again. But most of all because it was such a sweet gesture.

What we need:

Crust

  • 150 g Oreo
  • 150 g speculoos / Biscoff
  • 80 g melted butter

  • 200 g sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 25 g cocoa powder

Ganache

  • 350 ml heavy cream
  • 400 g dark chocolate

Note: best use a spring form for cheesecakes.

    1. In Belgium we call it Speculoos (I think we invented it :p) and in the UK they call it Biscoff. I can’t really describe what it is exactly but you can use an all oreo crust or substitute the whole thing with graham crackers that are regularly used for cheesecake crusts 🙂 I hope that helped. Super glad you like it although you don’t do desserts 🙂
