Ingredients
Scale
- 225 g Vollkornbutterkekse
- 90 g Butter
- 450 g Frischkäse (Doppelrahmstufe)
- 150 g Zucker
- 1 Prise Salz
- 2 Esslöffel Speisestärke
- 2 Eier
- 1 Teelöffel Vanilleextrakt
- 200 g Zartbitterschokolade
- 1 Esslöffel Kokosöl oder Pflanzenöl
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (fan-forced/convection setting). Prepare your rectangular baking pan (approximately 25 x 18 cm) by greasing it thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the Vollkornbutterkekse (whole grain butter biscuits) into a food processor or high-powered blender. Pulse until the cookies are finely ground into crumbs. Measure out 1 tablespoon of the crumbs and set aside for later use as garnish.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, pour the butter over the remaining cookie crumbs in a mixing bowl. Stir the mixture with a spatula or spoon until all crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Transfer the buttery cookie crumb mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using the flat side of your hand or the bottom of a glass, press the mixture firmly and evenly into the base of the pan to form a compact and level crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the eggs, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer or a sturdy whisk to beat the mixture together until it is completely smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining.
- Pour the cream cheese filling over the prepared cookie crust in the baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly, smoothing the top.
- Place the pan on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the surface is just starting to turn lightly golden and the center is set but still slightly jiggly when gently shaken.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and set the pan on a wire rack. Allow it to cool at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Then, transfer the pan to the freezer and chill the cheesecake for at least 2 hours, until it is very firm and easy to cut.
- Once the cheesecake is thoroughly chilled and firm, remove the pan from the freezer. Carefully lift the cheesecake out of the pan using the edges of parchment paper or by gently loosening the sides with a knife. Cut the cheesecake into small, bite-sized cubes, approximately 2 cm on each side.
- Prepare the chocolate glaze: Break the dark chocolate into pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a pot of gently simmering water (double boiler method), ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Add the coconut oil (or vegetable oil) and stir until fully incorporated. Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly and thicken a bit before using.
- To coat the cheesecake bites, hold each cube by the cookie base and dip the top of the cheesecake into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Immediately sprinkle a little of the reserved cookie crumbs on top for garnish.
- Arrange the coated cheesecake bites on a wire rack or a parchment-lined tray. Let them sit at room temperature (or refrigerate) until the chocolate has set and hardened. Once the glaze is firm, the cheesecake bites are ready to serve.
Notes
For clean and neat cheesecake bites, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between cuts. The cheesecake must be well chilled before slicing to ensure clean edges and easy handling. Store the cheesecake bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze them for longer storage. You can experiment with different types of chocolate for the glaze, or add toppings like chopped nuts or sprinkles for extra flair.
