How to Make Chocolate Glazed Triple Layer Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom and 2 inches up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate while preparing the fillings.
- In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese and ¼ cup sugar until fluffy. Beat in 1 large egg and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir in melted chocolate and ⅓ cup sour cream. Pour over the crust.
- In a separate bowl, beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese, ⅓ cup brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons flour until fluffy. Beat in 1 large egg and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir in ½ cup chopped pecans. Spread over the chocolate layer.
- In another bowl, beat 5 ounces softened cream cheese and ¼ cup sugar until fluffy. Beat in 1 large egg. Stir in 1 cup sour cream, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, and ⅛ teaspoon almond extract. Spread over the pecan layer.
- Bake for 1 hour. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 30 minutes. Then, leave it in the oven with the door open for another 30 minutes.
- Cool completely on a wire rack. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Remove from the springform pan.
- Prepare the chocolate glaze: In a double boiler (or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water), combine 6 ounces chopped semi-sweet chocolate and 2 tablespoons butter. Stir until melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in remaining glaze ingredients (if any, specify in the recipe).
- Spread the warm glaze over the cooled cheesecake.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
