Ingredients

Servings
- 250 grams María cookies, ground
- 130 grams butter, melted
- 5 packages cream cheese, Philadelphia (8 oz each)
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cups sour cream
- 1/2 cups whipping cream, liquid
- 1 tablespoon vanilla essence
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 70 grams dark chocolate
Preparation
1h

Medium
- Grease a springform pan and preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
- Crush the Maria cookies (until they are powdered) and add to the melted butter. Mix well.
- Place the buttered cookies in the pan and press down with your fingers to form an even layer of cookie.
- Mix in an electric mixer the cream cheese (at room temperature) with the sugar.
- Beat until the cream cheese is creamy and has a smooth texture.
- Add the creams, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Stir with a spatula until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Be careful not to over-beat as bubbles in the mixture can cause cracks in the cake while baking.
- Reserve 1/4 of the formed batter and place the rest in the pan with the cookie base.
- Melt the remaining chocolate (in a double boiler or in the microwave, being careful not to burn it) and add to the 1/4 of the reserved mixture.
- Put the chocolate cheesecake batter into a bottle with a very narrow nozzle (or a piping bag) and form thin chocolate circles around the cake in a spiral shape.
- With a toothpick or a knife, decorate the cake. First, place the toothpick in the center of the cake and make a line to the edge of the pan (it should look like chocolate leaves). Now, in the other direction, a few cm from the formed line, repeat the same, forming leaves in the other direction. Continue this all over the cake to create a sort of chocolate web.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the sides look cooked but the center still jiggles.
- Remove from the oven and let cool.
