  • Yield: 12 servings
  • Diet: Gluten-Free

Description

A show-stopping gluten-free chocolate cheesecake with a chocolate-cookie crust, creamy filling, and glossy ganache.

Ingredients

  • 24 gluten free Oreo cookies (or another gluten-free chocolate cookie)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons gluten free flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup melted chocolate (semisweet or dark)
  • ½ cup chocolate chips (for ganache)
  • ¼ cup heavy cream (or canned coconut cream for dairy-free ganache)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form.
  3. Mix the crumbs with the melted butter in a bowl until evenly coated.
  4. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form an even layer.
  5. Beat the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
  6. Add the sugar, gluten-free flour, and cocoa powder to the cream cheese and beat until smooth.
  7. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing briefly after each addition.
  8. Stir in the vanilla extract and the melted chocolate until glossy and uniform.
  9. Pour the filling over the prepared Oreo crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  10. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until the edges are set but the center has a slight jiggle.
  11. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to cool.
  12. Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  13. To make the ganache, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a bowl and microwave in bursts, stirring until smooth.
  14. Pour the ganache over the chilled cheesecake and chill briefly to set the topping.

Notes

Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer filling. For a less intense chocolate flavor, use semi-sweet chocolate instead of dark.
