A rich and creamy cheesecake layered with mixed berries and topped with chocolate truffles and caramel sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
- 1 cup mixed berries (raspberries, strawberries)
- 1 cup chocolate truffles or chocolate balls
- 2 tbsp caramel sauce
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder (optional for dusting)
- Sprigs of mint (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crumb Base: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated.
- Form the Crust: Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
- Mix the Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Add Chocolate: Drizzle in the melted chocolate, stirring slowly to create a marbled effect.
- Layer the Cheesecake: Remove the crust from the refrigerator. Pour half of the cheesecake mixture over the crust.
- Add Berries: Sprinkle a handful of mixed berries over the first layer.
- Top Layer: Pour the remaining cheesecake mixture over the berry layer. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Decorate: Arrange the chocolate truffles and remaining mixed berries on top. Drizzle with caramel sauce and optionally dust with cocoa powder.
Notes
- For a firmer crust, bake the base at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes before chilling.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Allow the cheesecake to chill overnight for the best texture and flavor enhancement.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, consider adding a layer of chocolate ganache under the toppings.
