I eat everything that I make still, but when I’m in the process of making them I’ve been trying to indulge a bit less. Unfortunately, no cookie dough or cake batter is safe from a stolen spoonful (or six…hundred). How To Cook Turnip Greens. I’d been doing pretty well recently, but when it came to making these chocolate cheesecake bars… between the dark chocolate, the cream cheese, the Oreo cookies… it was irresistible. I also learned this weekend that not everyone has this problem — Zach tested a cookie bar recipe for me yesterday and he didn’t sample so much as a single chocolate chip… what is that!?

Cream cheese that is too cold can leave lumps in your cheesecake, or when you add your melted chocolate it can cause the chocolate to harden, leaving chunks of hard chocolate in your cheesecake. Admittedly, the latter isn’t the worst thing that could possibly happen, but we want a smooth cheesecake, so let that cream cheese soften! Easy on the eggs. Don’t over- beat the eggs when you add them.

Stir on low- speed just until combined after each egg, and make sure to pause after each addition to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Over- beating the eggs can actually ruin the texture of your cheesecake and can cause cheesecake to crack. I originally intended to cover these chocolate cheesecake bars with a thick layer of ganache but the flavor was already so rich and dark that I thought that a ganache topping would just be overkill.
