New (to me) cocoa powder! - Lemmy.World

Trying out this new cocoa powder. It has 4x the fat compared to Hershey’s. 2g per tablespoon compared to 0.5g. Trying it in my favorite application: Chocolate Orange Chocolate Chip Cheesecake 1) Float 2 pounds of cream cheese in warm water for 15 minutes.

Mix until smooth.

IMPORTANT - full size chips won’t melt all the way and leaves a weird texture.

Pour the batter in the pan and bake at 200° F for EIGHT DAMN HOURS.
