Instructions:
1. Prepare the Base Layer:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth.
- Add the sugar to the melted chocolate mixture and stir until combined.
- In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, self-raising flour, and cocoa powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture, mixing well after each addition.
- Add the egg and mix until fully incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 8-inch (20cm) springform pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the base is set. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
2. Prepare the Cheesecake Layer:
- In a small bowl, mix the gelatin powder with 2 tablespoons of cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
- In the meantime, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy in a large mixing bowl.
- In another bowl, heat the white chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Gradually add the melted white chocolate to the cream cheese, beating continuously.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- In a small saucepan, gently heat the heavy whipping cream until it begins to steam (do not boil). Remove from heat and add the bloomed gelatin, stirring until fully dissolved.
- Gradually add the gelatin mixture to the cream cheese mixture, beating until smooth and well combined.
3. Assemble the Cheesecake:
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled chocolate base, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
4. Prepare the Topping:
- Once the cheesecake has set, gently spread the fresh raspberries on top.
5. Serve:
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
- Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your rich and decadent Double Choc Fudge Cheesecake!
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start. This helps in blending them evenly and achieving a smooth, lump-free batter.
- When melting chocolate, use a double boiler or microwave in short bursts to prevent overheating and burning.
- Gradually add the egg and beat it well. This helps in maintaining the right texture for your cheesecake.
- Chill the cheesecake thoroughly. This helps it set well and makes it easier to cut clean slices.
- Decorate with fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint for a refreshing contrast to the rich chocolate flavors.
Congratulations! You've just created a luxurious Double Choc Fudge Cheesecake. Serve it chilled with a garnish of fresh raspberries or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra touch of elegance.
