Cheesecake cu cacao (Cacao cheesecake)

Scroll down for English recipe

Ma bate nepoata-mea la cap de vreo saptamana sa fac un Cheesecake. Adevarul e ca si eu as vrea sa vad cum e. N-am mai facut asa ceva. Si ma gandesc ca, fiind o prajitura americana, n-are cum sa fie greu de facut :D
Am cautat eu retete, pe bloguri americane mai intai, ca de (am zis eu) ar trebui sa stie sa faca prajitura lor nationala. Am gasit multe retete, dar nu mi-au placut. Si atunci m-a strafulgerat ideea: parca Miha avea ceva pe blogul ei.

Ce am facut eu e o adaptare, pentru ca nu aveam destula ciocolata in casa.




Ingrediente (pentru forma rotunda de 23 cm cu inel detasabil)

Pentru blat

• 200 g biscuiti
• 50 g nuca
• 120 g unt topit

Pentru crema

• 2 cutii mici de branza Philadelphia (250 g in total)
• 2 cutii branza tip Fagaras (cam 300 g in total, poate fi si mai mult)
• 3 oua
• 150 g zahar
• 2 linguri esenta naturala de vanilie
• 100 g cacao neagra

Pentru glazura

• 100 g ciocolata amaruie Kandia
• 50 g smantana

Cum se face:

•  Incalzeste cuptorul la 180 C (mediu)
• Intr-un robot cu cutit marunteste bine biscuitii. Amesteca-i bine cu nuca si untul topit.Va rezulta un amestec asemanator cu firimiturile.
• Pune amestecul in forma cu inel detasabil si apasa bine cu o lingura, pentru ca firimiturile sa se taseze bine. Pune forma in frigider
• Amesteca, cu mixerul, toata branza cu zaharul, pana se omogenizeaza bine.
• Adauga ouale pe rand si amesteca dupa fiecare
• Adauga esenta de vanilie.Amesteca
• Adauga cacao. Amesteca.
• Pune crema in forma, peste blat. Niveleaza cu o spatula
• Coace cam 1 ora, sau pana cand apare o mica crapatura la suprafata.
• Lasa prajitura sa se raceasca in cuptor. Asta pentru a evita sa se crape mai mult. 
• Cu ajutorul unui cutit ascutit scoate inelul detasabil.
• Incalzeste smanatana pentru glazura. Sa nu dea in clocot
• Pune ciocolata si amesteca pana ce se topeste bine. Lasa sa se raceasca
• Toarna peste prajitura si niveleaza cu o spatula.
• Lasa la rece, pana a doua zi.

English version

I know about this type of desert for many years, but I didn't bake it because cheese in sweets is not exactly what I like.
Last week my niece, which like a good (brand- new)mom wants to learn how to cook/bake for her little one, asked me to try it. (I have to try everything before her!). My recipe is an adaptation from Miha's recipe. You can find the original here

    * 200 g biscuits
