i'm publishing these on my blog cause i tend combine recipes and forget how / what i did. and since i'm generally baking the same thing many many months (if not years) apart, i'm finally taking notes!
basque cheesecake: Basque Cheesecake (with crust!)
chocolate versions - Chocolate Basque Cheesecake, Chocolate Basque Burnt Cheesecake, and Chocolate Basque Cheesecake
oreo crust - 14 regular oreos, 3 tsp butter
cheesecake (ingredients mostly from the first cbc link from Catherine Zhang)
16 oz (450 g) Cream cheese, room temperature
200g (7 oz) Dark chocolate, 65-70%.
if regular chocolate, can add bit less sugar
melt at 20 second intervals in microwave
1/2 cup (100 g) White sugar
1 tbsp (7 g) Cocoa powder (can add 1/2 tsp extra if non dutch processed)
1 tsp Instant coffee (pretty much 1 packet of the travel size ones)
1/4 tsp salt
3 large eggs, room temperature
240ml (1 cup) heavy cream
no need to pre-bake crust. just make, cover, fridge while you make the insides
it will make about 2 standard cupcake liners extra, can fill with cheesecake insides, put in little ramekin, and bake with cheesecake for <10 minutes
