\u201cWhat\u2019s your favourite dessert?\u201d is always a question that stumps me! There\u2019s so many\u00a0\u00a0to choose from, how can I be expected to pick just one delicious dessert?! But, if I was forced, baked cheesecake would be a strong contender for my number 1 dessert! It\u2019s creamy, and rich, and the flavour possibilities are endless \u2013 from the cheesecake, to the crust, to the cheesecake toppings, the world is your oyster in the land of baked cheesecakes. We all know that chocolate makes all desserts infinitely better, so I guess what I am trying to say is that this Gluten Free Death by Chocolate Cheesecake is really, really good idea.<\/span><\/p>\n

Making a baked cheesecake from scratch is so much easier than you might imagine, and so worth the time \u2013 especially since most of that time is just waiting for it to bake and then chill, there\u2019s not much hands on time at all. This chocolate cheesecake has all the indulgent trimmings too, with a from scratch brownie crust and a smooth ganache topping \u2013 and yet it\u2019s still a really easy chocolate dessert that everyone is going to fall madly in love with.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not only is making a baked chocolate cheesecake from scratch so easy, once you have the base recipe down you can adapt it so easily for different flavours. I have one base cheesecake recipe that I work from, and make yummy additions as needed. The cheesecake also works off a basic formula, so it is really easy to scale up and down to create bigger or smaller cheesecakes (who would ever want a smaller cheesecake I do not know!). The ratio I work to for a baked cheesecake is for each 250g (9oz) portion of cream cheese I use 50g (1\/4 cup) sugar and 1 large egg \u2013 then just double that as needed. Because I love a cheesecake, I usually go for a large one so do it x4 that ratio \u2013 either in an 8\u201d tin for a thick cheesecake or a 10\u201d for a slightly thinner cheesecake. I will usually add in some liquid too, such as greek yogurt, cream, or sour cream. Sometimes, I\u2019ll switch out 1\/3-1\/2 of the cream cheese for mascarpone \u2013 it adds such a creamy texture, it\u2019s amazing! If I\u2019m using mascarpone, I\u2019ll usually leave out the extra liquid. This cheesecake wouldn\u2019t be a chocolate cheesecake without, well, chocolate and all you have to do is add cooled melted chocolate into the batter \u2013 it\u2019s really that simple!<\/span><\/p>\n

The cheesecake crusts are just as versatile too, and you\u2019re definitely not limited with choices even when you\u2019re gluten free like me! This easy chocolate cheesecake recipe has a brownie crust, which is literally just my favourite fudgy brownie recipe scaled down and baked into a thin layer in the cake tin \u2013 the trick is to pre-bake it until the top is just set but it\u2019s still very liquid inside, this takes a very short amount of time with such a thin layer. This way, it means you will still get a fudgy brownie at the bottom, but it won\u2019t mix with the cheesecake \u2013 chocolate perfection in a slice of cheesecake.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve called this a Death by Chocolate Cheesecake, so I obviously couldn\u2019t stop with just a brownie crust and chocolate cheesecake. There\u2019s the rich and smooth chocolate ganache spread on top \u2013 I love making chocolate ganache because it\u2019s so easy and is just two ingredients (plus a little salt and vanilla), and it really adds an indulgence that will make you feel really fancy. To really take this Death by Chocolate Cheesecake over that chocolate hill, we\u2019re also topping it with chopped up chocolate \u2013 there\u2019s no rules on what you can use here, just pick your favourites. I went for a mixture of chopped chocolate bars (dark, milk, and white), plus magic stars and chopped up wispas, which I think are both very British exclusive chocolate treats. To give this gluten free chocolate cheesecake a more fancy bakery look, I also sprinkle some chocolate shavings\/curls on top \u2013 you can buy these, or they\u2019re really easy to do yourself with a block bar of chocolate and a vegetable peeler!<\/span><\/p>\n

There is a lot that I love about this Gluten Free Death by Chocolate Cheesecake \u2013 it\u2019s delicious, it\u2019s easy, it\u2019s full of as much chocolate as you could possibly want. But one of my favourite things about this chocolate cheesecake is how many servings it makes. It\u2019s a 10\u201d cheesecake so it\u2019s pretty big to start with, but it is so rich and decadent that even the most dedicated chocoholic will struggle to eat more than one small slice at a time. Of course, I\u2019d love to hear if you can prove me wrong though!<\/span><\/p>\n
