Description
A rich and creamy cheesecake infused with the bold flavors of Guinness and chocolate, perfect for any celebration.
Ingredients
Scale
- 9 oz (250 g) chocolate digestive biscuits, crushed
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 24 oz (680 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup (240 ml) Guinness beer
- 8 oz (225 g) semi-sweet chocolate, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- Shaved chocolate or chocolate curls for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed chocolate digestive biscuits with the melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Beat the cream cheese with a mixer until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar, and then mix in the sour cream, eggs, melted chocolate, Guinness, and vanilla extract until well combined but not overmixed. Pour over the crust.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the edges are set but the center jiggles slightly. Turn off the oven and let cool inside for an hour to prevent cracks.
- Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form and spread over the cheesecake. Garnish with shaved chocolate or curls.
Notes
Feel free to experiment with flavors, like adding espresso powder for depth or using ground nuts in the crust for a unique twist.
