Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Springform Pan
  • Rolling Pin

Ingredients

  • 200 g butter cookies
  • 90 g butter
  • 150 g milk-chocolate bars
  • 500 g lean curd (quark)
  • 400 g sour cream
  • 200 g sugar
  • 1 package vanilla sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 large eggs
  • 50 ml neutral food oil

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 160°C (140°C fan) and line a springform pan (Ø 26 cm) with baking paper.
  • Crush the butter cookies in a freezer bag using a rolling pin. Melt the butter in a saucepan and mix it with the cookie crumbs until they resemble wet sand.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the base of the pan and place it in the fridge to set.
  • Chop the milk-chocolate bars roughly, setting aside some chunks for garnishing later.
  • In a large bowl, combine the lean curd, sour cream, sugar, vanilla sugar, and cornstarch; whisk until smooth.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently, then stir in the neutral oil and fold in the remaining chocolate pieces.
  • Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth it out with a spatula.
  • Bake the cheesecake for about 55 minutes, then sprinkle the reserved chocolate chunks on top and bake for another 10 minutes.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool completely on a wire rack before transferring it to the fridge. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Notes

For a healthier version, consider using low-fat curd and yogurt, or substitute the sugar with a natural sweetener. Store the cheesecake in the fridge, covered, for up to two days. For longer storage, freeze individual slices wrapped in parchment paper for up to three months. To achieve the best flavor, use high-quality milk chocolate with at least 30% cocoa content. Always allow the cheesecake to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.
