Chocolate Cheesecake


Basically, just use the previous recipe of baked cheesecake (below) and top it with chocolate ganache. I will put up the recipe for the chocolate ganache

Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
2 squares/1 ounce squares semisweet cooking chocolate
1/2 cup sugar (or less if your chocolate is sweet)
1/4 cup cocoa powder sifted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt (about a pinch)

Directions:
  1. Using a double boiler or a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter and chocolate squares together. Using a whisk, whisk sugar, whipping cream, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt until incorporated. Cook for about 2 minutes while whisking consistently.
  2. Leave to cool, the chocolate will harden. Use a butter knife or a spoon to spread on top of the chilled cheesecake. Make decorations with the front and back of the fork alternately. Place in fridge or serve directly.
