Instructions
 

Step 1. Prepare Crust:

  • Just do the first step like a habit, the oven preheating. Keep the temperature 300 degrees F.
  • Then take the 9-inch springform pan and grease it. You now need to line it with parchment paper and apply the greasing again. Then powder with cocoa powder as well.
  • Melt chocolate and butter on a boiler over simmering water to allow a uniform melting. Then add sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, and vanilla in this mixture and pour it into the pan.
  • Bake in the oven for half an hour.
  • Smush to make a thin crust and cool down at room temperature.

Step 2. Prepare the Cheesecake:

  • Do a preheating again, but this time at 325 degrees F.
  • Find the largest mixing bowl in your kitchen to make the cheesecake mixture.
  • Add sugar and cream cheese in the bowl and beat them to fluff. Then add eggs to do their magic.
  • Lastly add Irish cream, vanilla, and sour cream. Mix them well to get them acquainted. Afterall, they are gonna blow your mind afterwards.
  • Don't forget to add in melted chocolate at the end.
  • Pour this mixture over the waiting crust and bake for 90 minutes.
  • Take out and cool to room temperature.
  • Then cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate.

Step 3. Prepare the Mousse:

  • Melt the chocolate and then bring it to room temperature.
  • Beat the cream to make soft peaks. Separately whip eggs to soft peaks.
  • Add sugar and keep whipping until firm peaks.
  • Now take the twin of the largest bowl and add the melted chocolate in it.
  • Fold in egg whites and whipped cream one by one.
  • Pour this amazing mousse on the top of your chilled cheesecake. Refrigerate until you make the ganache.

Step 4. Prepare the Ganache:

  • Now melt the chocolate for one last time, promise this one’s last ;-).
  • Boil the cream and pour it over the chocolate. You need to whisk them with your heart to smoothen them.
  • Just when they become one, add corn syrup. Again mix.
  • Cool the mixture. Not too much, just a little.
  • Spread it over the mousse layer and make it dripping from the sides so that it looks more yummy.
  • Sprinkle cocoa powder for a crazier look.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and chill again.
  • Cheesecake Factory Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake is ready. Bon Appetit!
