How to Make Warm Fudge Filled Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1/3 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 cup chopped pistachios.
- Press the mixture into the bottom and 1 1/2 inches up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese at medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, beating well after each addition.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, ensuring not to overmix.
- Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared crust.
- Sprinkle 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels evenly over the batter, leaving a 3/4-inch border.
- Pour the remaining batter over the chocolate chips, spreading evenly from the outside to the center.
- Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
- Bake for 1 hour, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- For serving: Warm individual slices in the microwave for 30 seconds before serving. Top with sweetened whipped cream and garnish as desired.
