This rich and decadent Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake combines a smooth, creamy chocolate-infused cream cheese filling with a crunchy chocolate cookie crust, perfectly complemented by bursts of fresh raspberries. Ideal for special occasions or a luxurious dessert indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 2 cups crushed chocolate cookies
  • ¼ cup melted butter

Filling

  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup melted dark chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup fresh raspberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) to ensure it’s at the correct temperature once the cheesecake is ready to bake.
  2. Prepare Crust: In a bowl, combine the crushed chocolate cookies with the melted butter until the mixture is well blended. Press this evenly into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
  3. Mix Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the melted dark chocolate and vanilla extract, and continue beating until fully incorporated and smooth.
  4. Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time to the cream cheese mixture, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
  5. Fold in Raspberries: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries with a spatula, being careful not to break them up too much to maintain the raspberry texture throughout the cheesecake.
  6. Assemble and Bake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Place in the oven and bake for 60 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving for best results.

Notes

  • To prevent cracking, avoid overbaking and allow the cheesecake to cool gradually.
  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Fresh raspberries can be substituted with frozen if fresh are not available, but thaw and drain them before folding in.
  • Letting the cheesecake chill overnight enhances the flavor and texture.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the batter.
