Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Custard Filling
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate Glaze
- 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Custard: In a saucepan, combine milk, sugar, and cornstarch; cook over medium heat until thickened. Whisk in egg yolks and cook for 2 more minutes until creamy, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Allow to cool completely.
- Make the Cheesecake Batter: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth; gradually add sugar, eggs one at a time, then vanilla extract and flour, mixing until just combined. Fold in sour cream until batter is creamy.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour half of the cheesecake batter into a greased springform pan, add a layer of the cooled custard filling, then top with the remaining cheesecake batter, smoothing the top evenly.
- Bake the Cheesecake: Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 60 to 70 minutes, until the edges are set but the center jiggles slightly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door open for 1 hour. Remove and cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Prepare the Chocolate Glaze: Heat the heavy cream until just simmering, pour over chopped chocolate and butter in a bowl, let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
- Glaze and Serve: Pour the chocolate glaze over the chilled cheesecake evenly, allowing some to drip down the sides. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set the glaze before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream for best texture and flavor.
- Ensure custard is fully cooled before layering to prevent mixing into cheesecake batter.
- Baking times may vary depending on your oven; watch for the classic cheesecake jiggle indicator.
- Allow cheesecake to chill thoroughly for clean slices.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
