CHOCOLATE ERUPTION CHEESECAKE

Category: Cheesecake

Crust
1 1/4 cups Oreo cookie crumbs or fine brownie crumbs
1/4 cup white chocolate, finely ground
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Filling
2 1/2 lbs cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 (14 oz) can condensed milk
5 eggs
1/3 cup light cream
2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups white chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or coarsely chopped chunks
2 cups coarsely chopped Snickers or Turtle candy bar
1 cup coarsely cut chunks of brownie
1/2 cup caramel sundae sauce

Garnish
1/4 cup each, melted white, semi-sweet and milk chocolate
Chocolate shavings, confectioners sugar

Preheat oven to 325. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray a 10 inch springform pan with cooking spry. Line bottom and sides of pan with parchment, cut to fit, allowing side pieces to extend a bit over the top of pan to make a collar. Mix crust ingredients together and press into pan.

Filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add milk and blend in next 5 ingredients until smooth, about 5 minutes on slowest speed, scraping bottom of mixing bowl often to make sure batter does not stick in well of bowl.

Remove one-third of batter and mix it with the white chocolate.

Pour into cheesecake pan. Fold in remaining ingredients except caramel sauce, into cheesecake batter. Mix gently by hand so as not to bread up brownie chunks to much.

Fold half the batter into the pan on top of the white chocolate cheesecake batter and then drop dollops of caramel sauce all over. Top with remaining batter and then add some more caramel sauce. Marbleize with a knife very briefly. Pan will be very full.

Place cheesecake on baking sheet and bake until set about 45-55 minutes. Cool in oven one hour and refrigerate overnight. Remove from pan and set on a serving plate.

Before serving, drizzle on melted chocolates over top, allowing to drip down on side. On top of melted chocolate, garnish with large chocolate shavings and dust with confectioners sugar.
