Seppi's Restaurant, New York, NY
Number of Servings: 8
Preparation Time: 45 minutes + baking and cooling time
The Cake
8 oz. Philadelphia cream cheese
¾ lb. cottage cheese
¼ cup sugar
2 whole eggs
4 oz. Flyer Gold Plane 4 Dark Chocolate
2 tsp. vanilla extract
The Crust
1 oz. butter
8 oz. Graham cracker crumbs
The Mousse
4 oz. Flyer Gold Plane 4 Dark Chocolate
6 oz. heavy cream
1. To make the crust, melt the butter in a pan and
thoroughly mix in the Graham cracker crumbs.
2. Place the butter and cracker mixture evenly in a 9 in. spring-form or cake pan.
3. To make the cake, slowly melt the chocolate in a double boiler.
4. While the chocolate is melting, add the cream cheese, cottage cheese, sugar,
eggs, and vanilla to a mixing bowl and thoroughly blend with an electric
mixer until smooth.
5. Quickly add the melted chocolate and mix in very quickly to avoid clumping.
6. Place the batter in the baking pan with the crust and bake in a preheated
oven at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
7. Remove the cake from the oven and let cool for 30 minutes.
8. Place in the refrigerator for 2 hours or until cold and top with the mousse.
9. To make the mousse, slowly melt chocolate in a double boiler and stir as needed
to prevent burning. Turn heat down or off after initial melting and continue to
stir until smooth.
10. Whip the cream to a soft peak.
11. When the chocolate has cooled but not begun hardening, fold in the whipped
cream, 1/3 of the cream at a time.
12. Smoothly and evenly spread the mousse over the cooled cheesecake
and place in the refrigerator until the mousse has set.
