A rich and indulgent dessert that layers creamy cheesecake with three types of chocolate, creating a decadent treat for chocolate lovers.
Ingredients:
Crust:
• 1½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
• ¼ cup sugar
• 6 tbsp butter, melted
**Cheesecake Filling:**
• 24 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs
• 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted
• ½ cup milk chocolate chips, melted
• ½ cup dark chocolate chips, melted
Chocolate Ganache Topping:
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and wrap the outside with aluminum foil to prevent leaks.
Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just incorporated.
Add the Chocolate: Gently fold in the melted semi-sweet chocolate, milk chocolate chips, and dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and crack the door, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour.
Make the Ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring until smooth and glossy.
Chill and Serve: Once the cheesecake has cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the cheesecake, spreading it evenly. Slice and enjoy this luxurious triple chocolate delight!
