Ingredients

  • 225 g Breadcrumbs, dried

  • 50 g Butter, unsalted

  • 225 g chocolate, dark

  • 1 pinch Salt, table

  • 400 g Cheese, creamy

  • 100 g Sugar, brown

  • 4 pieces Egg, fresh

  • 284 ml Sweet cream

  • 2 spoons Cocoa, powdered, unsweetened

Steps

  1. Melt the butter in a small pot. Remove the pot from the heat and let the butter cool slightly. In a bowl, crush the biscuits and mix them with the melted butter. Line the bottom of a 23 cm diameter cake pan with the biscuit mixture, pressing it down with your hands (or the back of a spoon). Store the pan in the refrigerator.

  2. Roughly chop the chocolate and melt it with the salt in a water bath (see tips). Mix the melted chocolate well and let it cool. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius.

  3. In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese and brown sugar with an electric mixer. Mix on medium speed for about 3 minutes. Gradually (one after the other) mix in the eggs. Reduce the mixer speed to the lowest setting and mix in the melted chocolate and cream. Once a uniform mixture is formed, pour it over the biscuit base. Place the pan in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes.

  4. Remove the baked cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan. Store the cooled cake in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.

  5. Carefully remove the cooled cake from the pan and place it on a large cake plate. Cut the cake into pieces of any size, serve on plates, dust with cocoa powder, and serve.

Advice

A water bath is used for melting and dissolving delicate foods and ingredients or for frothy mixing (especially for preparing various sauces and creams). Place the heatproof container with the ingredients on top of another container with hot water and whisk the ingredients in the upper container until they thicken and froth. The water in the lower container should not boil vigorously! Instead of chocolate whole grain biscuits, you can also use regular biscuits.
