Triple Chocolate Cheesecake from My Kitchen Rules

A deliciously decadent Triple Chocolate Cheesecake recipe that was inspired by My Kitchen Rules, and brought to life by my daughter.

My girls and I are huge fans of My Kitchen Rules. We started watching the series last year and have thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact I love all cooking shows, Nigella (wish she would do more!), Masterchef, and I even enjoy watching Gordan Ramsay’s Hells Kitchen (no the kids don’t watch that one LOL).

We watched Paul and Blair ace this Triple Chocolate Cheesecake in their Ultimate Instant Restaurant scoring a perfect 10 out of 10. So of course we had to try it! My miss 11 and I were to make this together for Good Friday dessert for the family…. however my gorgeous little miss took over and basically made this herself. I’m also very impressed she made the coulis perfectly.

The crust on this cheesecake is unlike the traditional version. It’s filled with the typical chocolate biscuit, but then you add dates, walnuts, honey, and my new favourite ingredient coconut oil – it made a deliciously light base.
