Decoration

  • cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch

Instructions
 

Necessary Preparations to save you time

  • Line the springform pan with baking paper (cut to size on the bottom and sides). Set it aside.
  • Melt ½ cup Melted unsalted butter in a small pan on low heat, and set up two water baths to melt 2 cups Chocolate-Milk Couverture and 2 cups Dark Chocolate Couverture separately.

  • After melting the couverture completely, pour each into a separate bowl and let cool down a bit.  
  • Soak 3 Sheets Gelatin leaves in cold water.

Making the delicious Biscoff cookie cake base

  • Fill half of 10.6 oz Lotus Biscoff Cookies into a sealable Ziploc baggie and crush with a meat tenderizer. Once only crumbs are left, open the Ziploc bag and empty the crumbs into a mixing bowl. Repeat with the remaining Lotus Biscoff Cookies.

  • Now pour the melted butter into the cookie crumbs and add 4 tablespoon Unsweetened Cocoa Powder. Stir well and distribute the mixture evenly in the springform pan. Then press the mass a little firmly (I used a potato masher. That worked very well!) and put the form afterward in the fridge for cooling.

Preparing the Cream and Putting it all Together

  • Blend 3 cups Ricotta and ½ cup Granulated Sugar with a food processor until creamy. Pour in 1 ¼ cups Heavy Cream and blend for about 2 minutes until creamy.

  • Meanwhile, heat ¼ cup Milk in a saucepan (do not boil!). Squeeze the gelatin, dissolve it in the warm milk, and stir the milk-gelatin mixture into the ricotta mixture.

  • Now divide this mixture evenly between two mixing bowls. Pour the melted milk chocolate couverture into one of them and stir well to create a delicious cream.
  • Take the springform pan out of the fridge and pour the milk chocolate ricotta cream into it. 
  • Spread it in the form and put it in the freezer for at least 10 minutes so that it becomes firm and you can easily make the second layer. 
  • Mix the melted dark chocolate couverture with the second half of the ricotta mass and spread it carefully on the cooled milk chocolate cream.
  • Chill the cheesecake overnight in the refrigerator so that it can set. 

Decorating the Chocolate-Ricotta-Cheesecake before serving

  • Pour ⅞ cup Heavy Cream into a tall mixing bowl and add 1 teaspoon Cornstarch and 1 teaspoon Powdered Sugar. Now mix it with a hand mixer until it is firm.

  • Take the chilled chocolate ricotta cheesecake out of the refrigerator. Open the springform pan and remove the strips of baking paper on the sides. Take a wide flipping shovel, carefully slide it between the cake and the baking paper and lift the cheesecake onto a serving platter or cake plate. 
  • Fill the whipped cream into a pastry bag and decorate your cheesecake as you like.
  • Sprinkle the cheesecake with Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, cut it into equal pieces and serve immediately.
