Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1.5 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
  • 0.25 cups granulated sugar
For the Filling
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened Make sure it’s at room temperature.
  • 1 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 large eggs Room temperature.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted and cooled
  • 4 oz white chocolate, melted and cooled
For Topping
  • 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips More can be added for garnish.
  • Whipped cream, for garnish Optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix together the chocolate graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until it resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  3. Bake for about 10 minutes, then take it out and let it cool.
Making the Filling
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth.
  2. Add in the cocoa powder, vanilla, and melted semi-sweet chocolate, mixing until well combined.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating on low speed just until blended.
  4. Gently fold in the melted white chocolate into the cream cheese mixture.
Baking
  1. Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes, until the outer edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
  3. Turn off the oven and crack the door, allowing the cheesecake to cool for about an hour.
  4. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Serving
  1. Melt some chocolate chips and drizzle them over the cheesecake just before serving.
  2. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth mixture. For a traditional cheesecake texture, consider using a water bath during baking.
