Ingredients
Scale
- Crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- Filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- Topping:
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- Chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until well combined.
- Stir in the melted chocolate and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. The edges should be firm.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
- This cheesecake can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers for the crust.
- Substitute cream cheese with a vegan cream cheese alternative for a dairy-free option.
