How to Make Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe
Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare the crust by mixing chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Step 2:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Step 3:
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream.
Step 4:
Pour in the melted dark chocolate and gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Step 5:
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top.
Step 6:
Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
Step 7:
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 8:
Before serving, heat the caramel sauce with heavy cream over low heat until smooth and pourable.
Step 9:
Drizzle the chocolate caramel sauce over the chilled cheesecake.
Step 10:
Dust with cocoa powder and decorate with dark chocolate shavings or curls. For an extra fancy Dubai cheesecake design, add a touch of edible gold leaf on top.
Some Tips!
- Make sure your cream cheese is room temperature for the smoothest batter.
- Use a water bath during baking to prevent cracks (place pan in a larger pan filled with hot water).
- Chill the cheesecake thoroughly for the best texture and ease of cutting.
- For a stunning decoration, use a piping bag to drizzle the caramel sauce neatly.
- Experiment with flavors by adding a hint of coffee or chili powder in the batter for a unique Dubai twist.
How to Store Leftovers
Store leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This keeps it fresh and maintains the creamy texture. Avoid freezing if possible to keep the chocolate and caramel layers at their best.

Ingredients
Crust
1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
8 oz dark chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
Chocolate Caramel Topping
½ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
¼ cup heavy cream
For Garnish (Optional)
Cocoa powder, for dusting
Dark chocolate shavings or curls
Edible gold leaf (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Mix chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter and press firmly into a greased 9-inch springform pan.
- Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla, sour cream, and melted dark chocolate.
- Pour filling over crust and bake for 50–60 minutes, until the center is just set with a slight jiggle.
- Cool completely, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, then drizzle with warm caramel sauce and garnish as desired before serving.
Notes
- Use room-temperature cream cheese and eggs for a smooth, lump-free cheesecake.
Do not overmix once eggs are added to avoid cracking.
Bake until the center is slightly jiggly — it will firm up as it chills.
For extra protection against cracks, bake using a water bath.
Chill the cheesecake at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture.
Warm caramel slightly before drizzling for a clean, glossy finish.
Add chocolate curls or edible gold leaf for an elegant Dubai-style look
