Chocolate Glaze (Topping)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Base – Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix until combined. Stir in lemon juice and milk until well incorporated.
  2. Dissolve Gelatin – Soften gelatin in a small amount of water. Heat gently until dissolved, then mix into the cream cheese base.
  3. Make the Chocolate Layer – Melt dark chocolate and stir until smooth. Fold in whipping cream and combine with the cream cheese base. Pour the mixture into a mold and refrigerate until set.
  4. Prepare the Chocolate Glaze – In a saucepan, whisk cocoa powder, sugar, and milk over medium heat. Stir until smooth and slightly thickened. Add dissolved gelatin and mix well.
  5. Finish the Cake – Once the cheesecake layer is firm, pour the chocolate glaze on top. Smooth out the surface and refrigerate again until fully set.
Tips for Best Results
  1. Use good quality chocolate (at least 50% cocoa) for a rich flavor.
  2. Make sure the gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid lumps.
  3. Let each layer chill properly before adding the next.
