Zubereitung von Chocolate Lover's Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a large bowl, beat together 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gently fold in 1 1/3 cups (150g) semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into your prepared graham cracker crust (instructions not included, but a standard graham cracker crust will work).
- Bake for 10 minutes at 450°F (232°C). Do not open the oven door during this time.
- Reduce oven temperature to 250°F (121°C). Continue baking for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges and the center is just slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
- While the cheesecake chills, prepare the chocolate ganache: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 6 ounces (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream.
- Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Once the cheesecake is chilled, pour the ganache over the top, spreading evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the ganache to set before serving.
