How to Make Triple Chocolate Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup powdered sugar, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter.
- Mix until well combined.
- Press mixture firmly into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of an 8-inch springform pan coated with cooking spray.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
- While the crust cools, prepare the chocolate mixture: In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over simmering water, combine 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate squares and 2 tablespoons rum. Stir until melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup until smooth.
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a large bowl, beat 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese until smooth.
- Gradually add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Beat until smooth.
- Stir in the melted chocolate rum mixture until well combined.
- Add 3 large eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Pour the cheese mixture into the prepared crust.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cheesecake is almost set. The center may still be slightly jiggly.
- In a small bowl, combine 8 ounces sour cream, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Stir until smooth.
- Turn off the oven. Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the cheesecake.
- Let the cheesecake stand in the oven with the door closed for 45 minutes.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
- Garnish with chocolate curls before serving.
