Equipment

Variations
Want to make this sublime Triple Chocolate Cheesecake gluten-free or vegan? Here’s how:
🍃 Gluten-Free: Simply substitute the chocolate cookies with gluten-free chocolate cookies. Ensure all other ingredients, such as cornstarch and chocolate, are also certified gluten-free.
🌱 Vegan: Swap the cream cheese and heavy cream with vegan versions available at most supermarkets. Use a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water) for each egg in the recipe. Choose vegan chocolate for the layers, and you’re good to go!
Faq
- How do I know when the cheesecake is done baking?
The cheesecake is ready when the center is just set and no longer jiggles when you gently shake the pan.
- Why is my cheesecake cracking?
Cracks can occur from over-baking or if the oven temperature is too high. Bake at a low temperature and don’t open the oven door during baking.
- Can I use low-fat cream cheese?
Using low-fat cream cheese might alter the texture and richness of the cheesecake. Full-fat cream cheese is recommended for best results.
- How do I store leftover cheesecake?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the cheesecake for up to 3 months.
- How can I make my cheesecake layers more distinct?
Ensure each layer is slightly set before adding the next one. This helps in maintaining distinct layers.
- What's the best way to melt chocolate for the filling?
Melt chocolate using a double boiler or in the microwave in short intervals, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
