Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs Use crushed graham crackers
For the cheesecake filling
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened Ensure it is at room temperature
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Melted
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream Whipped until stiff peaks form

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter, then press this mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to create a crust.
  3. Beat the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth. Gradually blend in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Melt the chocolate chips and mix them into the cream cheese mixture until thoroughly blended.
  5. Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mix.
  6. Pour the cheesecake filling over your prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for about 50-60 minutes, until slightly set but still has a jiggle.
  8. Allow it to cool at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
Serving
  1. Slice the chilled cheesecake with a sharp knife and serve on dessert plates.
  2. Add extra melted chocolate or a spoon of whipped cream, if desired.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth mixing. Don’t overbeat after adding whipped cream; gently fold it in. Chill fully for clean cuts. Warm your knife under hot water and wipe it between cuts for neat slices.
