Ingredients
- Dark chocolate
- 200g, melted
- Sour cream
- 200g
- Eggs
- 3, at room temperature
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Granulated sugar
- 150g
- Cream cheese
- 500g, softened
- Unsalted butter
- 100g, melted
- Tim Tam biscuits
- 250g
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).
- In a food processor, crush the Tim Tams until they resemble fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and process until thoroughly combined.
- Press the biscuit mixture into the base of a 20cm (8 inch) springform pan to create an even layer. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a light texture.
- Stir in the sour cream and melted dark chocolate, mixing until well combined.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the chilled biscuit base and smooth the surface with a spatula.
- Bake for 1 hour or until the center is just set. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 2 hours to cool gradually.
- Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until fully chilled before serving.
Tips
- For an added crunch, consider folding in some chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the cheesecake mixture before baking.
- You can substitute Tim Tams with any chocolate biscuits of your choice for a different flavor profile.
- Serve with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
