Chocolate Macaroon Cheesecake for Passover
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups crushed chocolate macaroon cookies
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 4 teaspoons matzo meal
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon butter
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary items, including the macaroons and butter, cream cheese, sugar, matzo meal, milk, vanilla, eggs, chocolate chips, and butter.
2
Preheat the oven to a high temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or 190 degrees Celsius).
3
In a small container, blend the crushed macaroons with butter until they form a cohesive mixture.
4
Place this mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch round cake pan that is designed to release from its sides.
5
Bake this mixture in the preheated oven for 15 minutes; then, take it out and let it cool down.
6
In a middle-sized bowl, combine the cream cheese with sugar until they are fully incorporated and blended together seamlessly.
7
Add matzo meal, milk, and vanilla to this bowl and mix until the ingredients form a smooth consistency.
8
Gradually add eggs one at a time to this mixture, blending each egg fully before adding the next.
9
In another small container, combine chocolate chips and butter.
10
Heat this mixture in short intervals of 30 seconds in the microwave, stirring between each interval until it is fully melted and smooth.
11
Combine this melted chocolate mixture with the cream cheese batter, blending until everything is well incorporated and smooth.
12
Pour this final mixture over the cooled crust and use a spatula to make it even and smooth on top.
13
Bake this final mixture in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until it appears solid when gently jiggled in the center.
