Foi o aniversário do meu marido no outro dia e como sempre perguntei que tipo de bolo queria para a celebração anual. Eu já devia saber que ele ia dizer bolo de queijo creme, porque todos os anos ele pede o mesmo, o bolo favorito dele. E assim foi, estilo New York, bem alto e delicioso, com a textura de veludo e ganache de chocolate preto por cima. Concordo que é um bolo de muitas calorias, mas serve 16 pessoas. Mas também, é para celebrar um aniversário e deve-se desfrutar de uma boa fatia de bolo!

Aquecer as natas ate quase ferver. Retirar do lume e adicionar o chocolate partido em bocados pequenos e mexer com uma colher de pau para evitar borbulhas de ar. Quando estiver arrefecido, espalhar por cima do bolo, já retirado da forma. Bom Apetite!

New York Style Cheese Cake
It was my husbands’ birthday the other day and as always I asked him what type of cake he wanted for his yearly celebration. I should have known better because every year he asks for cheese cake, one of his favourite. And so it was, New York style, high and rich, with a velvety smooth texture and dark chocolate ganache on top. I agree this is a very high caloric cake, but it does serve 16 people. And it for a birthday and you can enjoy a piece of cake too!
For the Cheese Mixture
For the Cheese Mixture
1 ½ kg Cream Cheese
1 cup sour cream
5 eggs
2 lemons
2 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup flour
2 cups sugar
For the Crust
1 cup sour cream
5 eggs
2 lemons
2 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup flour
2 cups sugar
For the Crust
1 cup graham cookie crumbs
4 tbsp butter, melted
For the Ganache
4 tbsp butter, melted
For the Ganache
200g good quality dark chocolate
200g heavy cream
Mix the crumbs with the melted butter and transfer it into a parchment paper lines 10 inch (25cm) spring form pan and pat it into an even layer. Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 15 minutes. Line the sides of the spring form as well.
Allow the cheese to come to room temperature as it is easier to mix. In a food processor, mix the cheese, juice of two lemons, eggs, sugar, sour cream and vanilla. Once the mixture is creamy and without any lumps and add the flour. Pour mixture into the spring form and bake in preheated oven for 1 hour at 175°C (350°F). Reduce the heat to 160°C (325°F) and bake for another 30 minutes or until the center jiggles slightly but mostly looks firm. Cool the cake in the oven with the door left ajar. Remove from oven and refrigerate uncovered for at least 6 hours before covering it.
Make the ganache by heating the cream to the boiling point, removing from the heat and adding the chocolate so it melts in the hot cream, mix with a wooden spoon so not to create any air bubbles. Once cooled, pour over the un-moulded cake. Enjoy!
