Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cups - chocolate graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons - sugar
- 2 tablespoons - butter melted
- 1/2 cups - finely chopped semisweet chocolate (62% cacao)
- 1 tablespoons - butter
- 1 packages - 8 oz. cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cups - sugar
- 1 tablespoons - Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1 - large egg
- 1 - egg yolk
- 1/2 cups - sour cream
- 1 teaspoons - vanilla extract
- - fresh raspberries, fresh mint leaves optional, for garnish
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
2. To prepare crust: In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter, stirring to combine well. Press mixture into bottom of 2 (4 by 1-3/4 inch) heart-shaped springform pans. Bake for 6 minutes.
3. To prepare filling: In a small bowl, combine chocolate and butter. Microwave on High in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until chocolate is melted and smooth (about 1 minute total). Cool slightly.
4. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar and cocoa. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Add egg and egg yolk, beating until combined (do not overbeat). Add melted chocolate mixture, sour cream, and vanilla, beating until just combined. Spoon batter into prepared crusts.
5. Bake 40 to 42 minutes or until centers are almost set; cool completely. Refrigerate for 4 hours to overnight. Gently run a knife around edges of pan to release sides. Garnish with raspberries and mint leaves, if desired.
