Well, now, wouldn\u2019t this rum truffle cheesecake make a terrific Christmas or Easter dinner dessert? This truffle cheesecake is so good it should be a controlled substance. <\/span><\/p>\n

A creamy vanilla cheesecake with a chocolate cookie crumb crust gets topped by a generous amount of rum truffle ganache. Then it\u2019s adorned with more luscious rum truffles on top for a gorgeously inviting looking cheesecake.<\/span><\/p>\n

I prefer dark chocolate in my truffle recipe but you can use any kind you like.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

How could that not be absolutely delicious on any occasion, like Easter, Mothers Day, Fathers Day or even as a birthday cake for die-hard cheesecake fans?<\/span><\/p>\n

Baking Rum Truffle Cheesecake in a Bain Marie<\/span><\/h3>\n

A word about baking a cheesecake in a bain marie before starting the recipe. A bain marie is simply a water bath that buffers the direct heat from the sides and bottom of the baking pan to more evenly\u00a0bake the cheesecake from the sides to the centre.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I bake my cheesecakes in a 9 inch springform pan that has the bottom and sides wrapped in multiple layers of wide heavy duty aluminum foil\u00a0which forms a sort of boat that the cheesecake pan sits in.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The roll of aluminum foil that I use is about 16 inches wide.\u00a0I use at least 4 layers of foil to make sure that no water leaks in and ruins the crust of my cheesecake.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Rum Truffle Cheesecake ready for the oven<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The aluminum foil wrapped pan is then placed inside a larger baking pan; I use a 12 inch cake pan. Boiling water is then poured into the larger pan filling it from 1\/2 to 2\/3 of the way to the top.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I find it best to pour the boiling water into the pan after it is placed on the rack in the oven as you are less likely to splash water onto the cheesecake or inside the aluminum foil. I reuse the aluminum foil for several future cheesecakes, adding a couple of layers to it each time just to be safe.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
