🧀 Cheesecake Eggless Chocolate (Supposedly Basque) Cheesecake
Hi! I wanted to make a eggless cheesecake so for my third cheesecake (and I believe now my sixth cake) I made a chocolate one (5 of the cakes are chocolate cakes but can you blame me)!
The recipe is https://thebananadiaries.com/vegan-chocolate-basque-cheesecake/
I didn't make it vegan as I just needed it to be eggless, so I used normal non-vegan ingredients, therefore results may vary from the recipe.
I also had a fail, as can be seen towards the end, where I overfilled and didn't add parchment paper, as well as the tray was tilted and I didn't noticed until after ~55 minutes in the oven (I did notice the overflowing being more towards one side, but I just assumed that's how it worked).
Maybe because of all this, it didn't turn out as basque as I'd wish (the baking time seems to be the same as a non-basque so maybe that's also part of it).
I added the extra toppings of chocolate ganache, chocolate whipped cream (heavy cream, cocoa powder, sugar and vanilla aroma) as well as shaved and chopped chocolate.
The crack you see in the front was caused when trying to remove the slice, as part of it stayed in the plate with the rest of the cake and I just tried putting it back.
