The Best Chocolate Cheesecake

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 0.25 cup butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 0.25 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 0.25 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 0.33333334326744 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 0.25 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps

Step1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F ( 175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan.

Step2

To make the crust: Mix 1 1/2 cups chocolate wafer crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar together in a small bowl until well combined; press onto the bottom and 1 1/2 inches up the sides of the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes; allow to cool. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step3

To make the filling: Heat 1/4 cup whipping cream and 1/4 cup chocolate chips in a small saucepan, stirring constantly, until chips are melted. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step4

Beat cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add cocoa and beat well. Add eggs and beat on low until just blended. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla and melted chocolate-cream mixture until blended; pour filling over crust.

Step5

Bake cheesecake in the preheated oven until edges are puffed and surface of cheesecake is firm except for a small spot in the center that will jiggle when the pan is gently shaken, about 45 to 50 minutes. Run the tip of a table knife around the edges of the pan, set the pan on a wire rack, and allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature.

Step6

To make the chocolate topping: Place 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Heat 1/4 cup whipping cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a small saucepan, stirring continuously, until just before boiling; pour hot cream over chocolate chips and stir with a spoon until smooth. Spread over baked cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to overnight.
