Cream Cheese
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened Make sure it’s at room temperature for easy mixing.
- 1 cup powdered sugar This sweetens the cheesecake and gives it a smooth finish.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract A splash of vanilla enhances the overall flavor.
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream Adds lightness and a fluffy texture to the filling.
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted and cooled This is the star ingredient providing rich chocolate flavor.
- chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish (optional) These make for a beautiful presentation.
Prepare the crust by placing the pre-made graham cracker crust on a serving plate.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then slowly pour in the melted chocolate and fold until smooth.
Pour the chocolate cheesecake filling into the prepared graham cracker crust and spread evenly.
Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
