Holiday season is finally here. And that means happy times are here again. I mean cake season is here again.

Chocolates and cheesecakes are best for this festive season, or I should rather say, they are the BEST in any season. By any season, I mean:

  • Any season when you crave something sweet.
  • Any season when you want something sinfully delish.
  • Any season when you throw dinner parties.
  • Any season when you want to sit by the fire and watch a Christmas movie along with some delicate chocolate dessert.
  • Any season when you just want to sit on a couch and have something chocolicious.

This chocolate cheesecake fits in all of the above mentioned seasons.

So for this chocolate cheesecake, I can say one thing — Season no bar, only chocolate is the limit! 🙂

Time to keep the customs alive:

During Christmas times, my mom always baked or bought a chocolate cake instead of a spiced Christmas cake. It was because I just loved chocolate cake. So till this time, I try to keep that ‘mini me’ alive and bake some chocolate cake every year around Christmas.

Chocolate Cakes are always sinful: But that’s all we want in a chocolate cake. Right? Chocolate cake should/cannot be guilt-free. Feel free to dive into this ocean of chocolate decadence. I would never tell you to finish a whole chocolate cheesecake in a day. NEVER.

Share it with family and friends and enjoy this delicacy with everyone. That sounds just the right way to indulge.

Chocolate everywhere:

This grandeur chocolate cheesecake is astonishingly mouth-watering, perfectly sweet and wonderfully rich. I topped it with real dark chocolate ganache which balances the flavors.

Again I have added some instant coffee in this cheesecake because as always I would say: “Coffee brightens the chocolate flavor.”

I think that the only thing which could make even chocolate dishes better is a little addition of coffee. Chocolate and coffee are a great marriage. They never fail to impress.

If you love easy desserts, then you would also love this tutti frutti cake, and Chocolate Crepes.

Let your festive feelings ride on you:

I was feeling celebratory, so I adorned my cheesecake with some chocolate candies and some white chocolate. Chocolate in and chocolate out = that’s my thing. However, feel free to use any decorations you like. You can even eat it without any ganache or any other decoration.

A simple icing sugar dusting would work too.

Want to feel happy? Just take a slice:

I can instinctively tell you that any chocolate lover would love this chocolate cheesecake. Bake and slice. Eat, share and REPEAT. Yumminess overloaded. So the thing is that, we need a chocolate cake because this satisfies our sweet cravings and makes us happy.

And we all love a sinful dessert once in awhile! 🙂
