Chocolate covered cheesecake is a dessert made by covering cheesecake with melted chocolate. Cheesecake is mixed with eggs, sugar, vanilla, and cream or sour cream and baked into a crust. The cheesecake is then dipped in melted chocolate and chilled. It can be served as bite-sized pieces or whole slices on a stick.
Chocolate covered cheesecake is a type of dessert made from a rich cheesecake covered in melted chocolate. In many cases, small pieces of cheesecake will be used so that each chocolate-coated piece is bite-sized. Other times, whole slices of cheesecake can be dipped in chocolate and then eaten like a popsicle or lollipop. Chocolate can also be poured onto the top of a finished cheesecake or used in place of a crust, making it possible to cover an entire cheesecake with chocolate before cutting into slices for serving. Both chocolate and cheesecake have been consumed for thousands of years, although they have only been combined relatively recently.
The main component of the chocolate covered cheesecake is the cheesecake itself. There are several variations of this dessert, although all use a mild-flavored cheese, such as cream cheese or cottage cheese. The cheese is usually mixed with eggs, sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream or sour cream and then baked into a crust that is often made from cookie crumbles or graham crackers. The eggs can be omitted from the recipe, however, and the cheesecake placed in the refrigerator to set. Flavored cheesecakes, such as pumpkin, strawberry, and chocolate are also common, and any of these can be used in a chocolate-dipped cheesecake.
Once a cheesecake has been made, it needs to be encased in chocolate to become a chocolate covered cheesecake. The milk or dark chocolate chunks are melted and then poured over the top of an entire cheesecake or used as a dipping for cheesecake chunks. Once the cheesecake is covered in melted chocolate, it needs to be chilled in order for the chocolate to set and form a solid coating around it. You can also use melted chocolate instead of a cookie crumb-based crust by pouring the chocolate into a skillet before pouring over the cheesecake and allowing the cake to refrigerate.
A common preparation of chocolate covered cheesecake is in the form of bite-sized pieces. To make these, a large cheesecake is cut into cubes which can be dipped into a bowl of melted chocolate. Once the chocolate has cooled, the bite-sized pieces can be eaten by hand. Alternatively, the cheesecake slices, which are usually wedge-shaped, can be covered in chocolate and then eaten with popsicle sticks or a fork.
