Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
For the filling
  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened Make sure it's at room temperature.
  • 1 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs Use room temperature eggs.
  • 1 cups chocolate chips Semi-sweet or dark chocolate recommended.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a crust.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth. Add in the vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Carefully pour the filling over your prepared crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Baking
  1. Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still jiggly.
  2. Once baked, let the cheesecake cool at room temperature. After cooling, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
  3. Slice and enjoy your decadent creation!

Notes

Pairs well with whipped cream or chocolate sauce. Can be stored in the fridge for up to one week or frozen for up to 3 months. Let frozen slices thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
