How to Make Chocolate Truffle Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine crust ingredients (see below) and press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  3. Melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely smooth and glossy.
  4. In a large bowl, beat 3 (8-ounce) packages of cream cheese until light and fluffy.
  5. Gradually beat in 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk until completely smooth and creamy.
  6. Add the melted chocolate, 4 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture.
  7. Beat on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. The center will continue to set as it cools.
  10. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
  11. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving. Garnish with melted white chocolate and/or truffles.
