Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make chocolate cheesecake? Start with the curd filling. Prepare all the products for her. It is better to take soft cottage cheese (homemade or store-bought), not dry, otherwise grains will be felt in the finished cheesecake.

Step 2

Step 2
In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, sugar and vanilla sugar until smooth. You can adjust the amount of sugar to your taste.

Step 3

Step 3
Beat with a mixer until smooth. Add semolina and beat again. Leave the filling to stand so that the semolina has time to swell. In the meantime, weʼll do the testing.

Step 4

Step 4
Prepare all products for the test. Sour cream and butter must be of high quality; fat content does not matter much. I took 20% sour cream and 82.5% butter. Melt the butter in any convenient way and leave to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Step 5
In a large container with high sides, beat the eggs and sugar with a mixer.

Step 6

Step 6
Add sour cream, soda and melted butter. Beat until smooth. If desired, you can add the grated zest of 1 lemon to the filling.

Step 7

Step 7
Sift the flour together with cocoa. This is an important point: this way the flour will be saturated with oxygen and the baking will be more airy, and in cocoa we will avoid lumps and the dough will be more homogeneous.

Step 8

Step 8
Pour flour and cocoa into the dough in small portions.

Step 9

Step 9
You should get a thick chocolate dough.

Step 10

Step 10
Pour the dough into a greased baking dish with a diameter of 22-24 cm, level it. Place the curd filling in the center. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 40–50 minutes. It is important not to open the door for the first 30 minutes. Since the dough is biscuit and may not rise well. Also, during baking, the filling may puff up greatly. There is no need to be afraid of this. It will gradually fall off after turning off the oven.
