This Toblerone Cheesecake is a rich and creamy dessert that brings the delightful flavors of the iconic chocolate bar into a luscious cheesecake. Perfect for special occasions or as a sweet treat!
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons sugar
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup Toblerone chocolate, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
For the Topping (optional):
- Whipped cream
- Additional chopped Toblerone
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Prepare the Crust:
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Use the back of a measuring cup to pack it down tightly.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool slightly.
3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until fully combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Fold in the chopped Toblerone, sour cream, and heavy cream until smooth and well combined.
4. Bake the Cheesecake:
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the oven for about 45-55 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. The edges should be firm and the top should be lightly golden.
5. Cool and Chill:
- Turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.
- Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results.
6. Serve:
- Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and additional chopped Toblerone if desired. Slice and enjoy your delicious Toblerone Cheesecake!
Tips:
- For a Smoother Texture: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
- Make Ahead: This cheesecake can be made a day in advance, and the flavors will deepen overnight.
- Storage: Keep leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Enjoy the indulgent taste of Toblerone in every slice of this decadent cheesecake!
