Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine chocolate graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for about 10 minutes until slightly set. Let it cool.
Cheesecake Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until blended to avoid overmixing.
- Gently fold in melted semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips, along with cocoa powder.
Baking
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes until edges are set but the center still has a slight wobble.
- Let cheesecake cool in the pan for about an hour before transferring it to the fridge. Chill for at least 4 hours.
Serving
- Top with whipped cream and festive chocolate shavings before serving.
Notes
Use quality chocolate for the best flavor. Small cracks can be concealed with whipped cream or chocolate shavings. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
