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.

Instructions
- To make berry coulis, place sugar and 50ml water in a small saucepan over low heat and stir until sugar dissolves. Add raspberries and stand for 5 minutes. Process mixture in a food processor until smooth. Strain mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, discarding seeds. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
- Meanwhile, grease and line a 23cm cake pan with removable base with melted butter. Process biscuits and nuts in a food processor until mixture resembles crumbs. Add dates, coconut oil and honey and process to combine. Press mixture over base of prepared pan and refrigerate until needed.
- To make filling, using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar (on medium speed) until smooth and combined. Add cream and beat until smooth. Set aside.
- Fill a small saucepan one-third full with water and bring to a gentle simmer. Place the white, milk and dark chocolate in separate small heatproof bowls. Working with one bowl at a time, place over pan and stir until chocolate has melted (don’t let the bowl touch the water). Allow to cool.
- Place 60ml boiling water in a small heatproof bowl and sprinkle over gelatine. Stir until dissolved. With the motor running, gradually add to cream cheese mixture and beat
- to combine. Add a third of the cream cheese mixture to each bowl of melted chocolate and stir to combine.
- Pour dark chocolate layer over chilled cake base. Dot with raspberries, then freeze for 5 minutes. Top with white chocolate layer and freeze for 5 minutes. Top with milk chocolate layer and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight to set.
- Slice cheesecake and place on serving plates. Drizzle over coulis and serve with extra raspberries to the side.

Needed a dessert idea for Christmas, so browsed through your recipes to find a good one. Once found I had my mind set on it. Some difficulties not making it in Australia. No liquid coconut oil (was a solid mass in a jar), no powdered gelatin (only sheets), no thickened cream (no substitute, used our version of whipped cream). I’ll know tomorrow how it tastes.
