Dive into the rich, creamy goodness of this Ultimate Chocolate Cheesecake. Made with a chocolatey crust and a silky smooth chocolate filling, it’s a chocolate lover’s dream dessert!
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted and cooled
1 cup sour cream
Directions:
Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar together. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
Make the Filling: In a large bowl, blend cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate after each addition. Fold in the melted chocolate, then mix in the sour cream until smooth.
Bake: Pour the filling over the crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly browned.
Cool and Chill: Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before removing it from the pan. Serve chilled for the best flavor.
This cheesecake is perfect for any celebration or as a decadent treat to enjoy any day of the week.
