Why This Recipe Works
- Toblerone- The star of this dessert is the Toblerone chocolate, of course. It is one of my favorite candy bars and pairs perfectly with cheesecake. The almond nougat is also amazing.
- Creamy cheesecake- This is a creamy cheesecake with a perfect texture you can't stop eating.
- Chocolate ganache- The chocolate ganache makes this cheesecake look so good while adding another layer of creamy chocolate!
Ingredient Notes
Here are some notes on the ingredients. For a full list of ingredients, check out the recipe card below.
- Toblerone- I used a 12.6 oz large bar for this recipe. I used about half inside of the cheesecake and kept the other 5 peaks for decoration.
- Unsalted butter- The butter is melted for the graham cracker crust. You can melt this in the microwave.
- Heavy Cream- Pull this out 2 hours before baking.
- Sour Cream- Use full fat sour cream or greek yogurt. Pull this out 2 hours before baking.
- Cream cheese- Use full fat cream cheese. Pull this out 2 hours before baking.
- Eggs- Pull the large eggs out 2 hours before baking so they are room temperature. I use whole egg, not egg white for the fatty yolk.
- Chocolate chips- For best results, use semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips. I don't recommend milk chocolate chips because it will be too sweet.
Step By Step Instructions
Here is how to make and bake this cheesecake. You will need a 9-inch parchment paper circle, 9-inch spring form pan, a hand mixer or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, and a rubber spatula.
STEP 1: Make the crust. Using a food processor, blend the graham crackers into fine crumbs. Mix them together with the melted butter using a fork.
STEP 2: Bake the crust. Pour the mixture into the bottom of 9-inch springform tin and use your hands to press the crust halfway up the sides of the pan. Then, use the back of a measuring cup to really compact the crust down.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes at 325 degree F.
STEP 3: Beat the cream cheese and sugar. Beat the full fat cream cheese and sugar in your mixer on high speed for 2 minutes.
STEP 4: Add wet ingredients. Add the sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Mix on high speed until combined.
Add in the eggs one at a time while mixing on low speed.
STEP 5: Fold in Toblerone. Take the large bowl off of the mixer and fold in the little bits of Toblerone using a spatula.
STEP 6: Bake the cheesecake. Pour the cheesecake batter into the pan. Place the pan in your water bath using one of the hot water bath methods listed below.
Bake cheesecake for 60-75 minutes
STEP 7: Cool cheesecake. Turn off the oven and prop the oven door. Let the cheesecake slightly cool for 30 minutes.
Then finish cooling on a cooling rack until room temperature. Cover and chill in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight.
STEP 8: Make the chocolate ganache. Pour hot cream over the chocolate chips in a small microwaveable bowl. Let it sit for 1 minute and 30 seconds and mix until smooth and shiny.
If chocolate chunks remain microwave in 10 seconds intervals and stir until they are melted.
DECORATING THE CHEESECAKE
First thing, remove the cheesecake from the pan. Tilt it on it's side to remove the parchment paper.
Next, pour the chocolate ganache over the cheesecake. For drips down the side, use an offset spatula to push the chocolate over the edge of the cheesecake.
Top the cheesecake with chopped Toblerone pieces to finish the look.
Good news, it is all done!
Water Bath Tips
The water bath provides a moist environment for the cheesecake. This is because of the steam. When it is too dry, it will create cracks in the cheesecake.
Here are two techniques to try. They both use a roasting pan with hot steaming water.
- Place the springform pan inside a 10 inch cake pan. Place the cake pan in the roasting pan. Fill the pan with the hot water (about halfway up the cake pan)
- Wrap the springform pan with foil twice very tightly. Place the springform pan inside the roasting pan. Fill the pan halfway up with hot water.
My favorite method is the first one. This won't let any water at all get into the crust. It makes baking cheesecake so easy!
The second option gives the chance to get water inside and create a soggy crust.
Preventing Cheesecake Cracks
Beat the wet ingredients minus the eggs on high speed. Everything need to be super creamy and smooth. Chunks of cream cheese can cause cracks.
Add eggs on low speed. The goal is to have as little air as possible when mixing the eggs. Too much air can cause big bubbles in the cheesecake batter. It will make the cheesecake rise and fall too quickly when baking. Which causes cracks.
Use a water bath. This is essential! See below for cheesecake tips.
Cool the cheesecake. Once the cheesecake is done baking, it needs to sit in the hot oven for 30 minutes. This lets it cool slowly.
If you were to put the cheesecake on the counter right after it is done baking, it will be too quick of a temperature change, which cause cracks. Using a wire rack is a good idea even after cooling in the oven.
How To Easily Remove The Cheesecake From The Pan
First, spray the springform pan with baking non stick spray. Next, line the bottom of the pan with 9 inch parchment paper circle. Make sure to spray the pan again.
Then, after the cheesecake has chilled overnight. The springform pan should pop right off. If it doesn't, very gently run knife around the edge of the cheesecake to pop it off.
Then, you should be able to lay the cheesecake on it's side to take off the bottom of pan and the parchment circle.
