St. Sam's and St. Bede's Recipe Pages Bon Appetit! --------------------------------------------- Triple Chocolate Cheesecake: Ingredients: 1 stick of Butter cup or so of crushed chocolate wafer cookies or vanilla/whatever for the crust 4 pkg of cream cheese (32 oz) - softened (I learned about that part the hard way 1 1/2 cup of sugar 4-6 eggs (depending on size) 1 10 oz can of Eagle Brand (sweetened condensed milk) or 3/4 cup heavy cream 4 oz milk chocolate 4 oz white chocolate 4 oz semi-sweet or bitter chocolate 1/2 cup heavy cream & another 4 oz of choice of chocolate (for glaze) 1. preheat oven to 350, grease 10 inch springform pan with butter 2. mix melted butter and crumbs and mash into the pan 3. bake 8-10 minutes, cool on rack. 4. grease pan sides with rest of butter & cool in refrigerator 5. beat cream cheese w/electric mixer on medium-high till fluffy (2-3 minutes) 6. gradually add sugar, beating in till smooth 7. beat in eggs, 1 at a time with mixer on medium until incorporated 8. beat in cream/condensed milk 9. divide batter between 3 medium bowls and stir in the three melted chocolate to each bowl 10. pour milk chocolate batter into the prepared crust, then the white, then the semi-sweet in even layers. 11. wrap the springform pan with heavy foil and place in a large roasting pan 12. pour boiling water into the pan enough to reach 1/2 way up the pan 13. bake 2 hours at 325 (or until set). Turn off oven and let stand for 1/2-1 hour 14. transfer to rack and cool completely. Remove foil and refrigerate for at least 8 hours 15. Glaze with more chocolate whisked with heated cream till smooth. You can also glaze strawberries and stick them on top, but I'm usually too lazy and eat the thing without the glaze step. If you don't like white chocolate you can skip that layer and just use the milk and semi-sweet; when I do this I substitute brown sugar for the granulated/confectioner's.
