How To Make hot chocolate cheesecake

  • Step 1
    grease an 8-inch loose bottom cake pan. To make the pie dough, sift the flour and unsweetened cocoa into a bowl and rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. Stir in the sugar and ground almonds. Add the egg yolk and sufficient water to make a soft dough.
  • Step 2
    Roll the pie dough out on a lightly dloured work counter and use to line the prepared pan. Let chill for 30 min. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Step 3
    To make the filling, put the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl and whisk until thick and pale. Whisk in the cream cheese, gtound almonds,cream,unsweetened cocoa, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Step 4
    Add the egg whites in a large bowl and whisk until stiff but not dry. Stir a little of the egg white into the cheese mixture, then fold in the remainder. Pour into the pastry shell. Bake in the oven for 1 hour 30 minutes, until well risen and just firm to the touch.
  • Step 5
    Carefully remove from the pan and dust with confectioners' sugar.
  • Step 6
    Slice and serve warm!
