Description
This Guinness Chocolate Cheesecake blends deep chocolate with a touch of stout for a creamy, dense filling and a crisp, chocolatey crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup dark chocolate, melted
- 1 cup Guinness beer
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and wrap the outside with foil if using a water bath.
- In a bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened and press into the bottom of the pan.
- Chill the crust for 10 minutes to set.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, melted chocolate, Guinness, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until combined but avoid overbeating.
- Pour the filling over the crust and gently tap the pan to release air bubbles.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes until the edges are firm and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 30 minutes.
- Let cool to room temperature and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
Notes
For best texture, chill overnight. Serve with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a dusting of cocoa powder.
