Equipment

  • Springform pan
  • Hand mixer
  • Culinary Torch

Ingredients
  

  • 5 oz chocolate graham crackers
  • 3 oz whole hazelnuts
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 26 oz cream cheese
  • 4 oz sugar
  • 2 tbsp corn starch
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 5 oz white chocolate
  • 4 tbsp heavy whipping cream
  • sugar to caramelize
  • raspberries to garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Crush the hazelnuts and crumble the chocolate graham crackers.
  • Combine the nuts, cookie crumbs, cocoa powder, and melted butter and mix well.
  • Line the bottom of a springform pan with parchment paper, press the chocolate cookie base into the pan, and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
  • Add the cream cheese, sugar, and corn starch to a bowl and stir everything with a hand mixer. Gradually add the eggs and egg yolk.
  • Heat the heavy whipping cream and pour it over the chopped white chocolate. Stir the chocolate cream until the chocolate is fully melted and let it cool down for a bit before adding to the cheesecake cream. Mix everything with a hand mixer on high and pour the finished cream over the chocolate base in the pan.
  • Place the cake pan on the middle oven rack and place a bowl or casserole dish filled with hot water on the bottom of the oven. Bake the cake for 10 minutes at 350°F. Then reduce the temperature to 250°F and bake for 90 minutes. Let the cake cool to room temperature, or even better, refrigerate overnight.
  • Sprinkle sugar on top of the cake and use a culinary torch to caramelize it. Garnish with fresh raspberries.
