Ingredients

Main Ingredients

▢ 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs Finely crushed
▢ 0.25 cup unsalted butter Melted
▢ 1.25 cups semisweet chocolate chips Melted
▢ 3 packages cream cheese 8 oz each, softened
▢ 1 cup granulated sugar
▢ 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Sifted
▢ 3 large eggs Room temperature
▢ 1 tsp vanilla extract
▢ 0.5 cup sour cream Room temperature

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and cocoa powder, beating until well combined.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed and scraping the bowl after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, melted chocolate, and sour cream.
Pour the filling over the prepared crust. Bake for 60 minutes or until the center is set and the top looks slightly dry.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside to cool gradually. Once completely cool, refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother texture. For an extra chocolatey flavor, drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving.
