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