How To Make reese's chocolate delight cheesecake
-
Step 1In small bowl mix graham cracker crumbs, butter and 2 Tbsp. sugar. Press crumb mixture onto bottom and 2 1/4 inches up sides of 9-inch springform pan. Chill in freezer wile preparing filling.
-
Step 2In a large bowl beat with a mixer the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add sugar, cornstarch and vanilla. Mix until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until just combined after each addition. Stir in sour cream.
-
Step 3Break the 1 Scharffen Berger bars into small pieces and fold into the mixture. Gently stir in the chopped reese cups.
-
Step 4Pour into crust. Bake at 350 degrees about 50 minutes to an hour or until center is almost set.
-
Step 5I also did this in a water bath. Which is to tightly wrap tin foil around the bottom of the pan and then place in a large dish filled 1/3 with water. This helps keep it moist and the top from cracking.
-
Step 6Take out of oven, remove the tin foil and cool on a wire rack for at least an hour. Then, loosen the sides of pan. Continue to let cool for several hours.
