How to Make Chocolate Lover's Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat together 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gently fold in 1 1/3 cups (150g) semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  5. Pour batter into your prepared graham cracker crust (instructions not included, but a standard graham cracker crust will work).
  6. Bake for 10 minutes at 450°F (232°C). Do not open the oven door during this time.
  7. 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.
  8. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
  11. 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.
  12. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  13. Once the cheesecake is chilled, pour the ganache over the top, spreading evenly.
  14. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the ganache to set before serving.
