How to Make Chocolate Amaretto Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract and amaretto.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together melted chocolate and melted butter until combined. Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared springform pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is just set. The edges will be firm, but the center might still jiggle slightly.
  5. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
  7. Before serving, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and garnish as desired (chocolate shavings, amaretto cherries, fresh berries).
