This triple chocolate cheesecake is a real treat for anyone who loves cocoa as much as I do. It starts with a crunchy chocolate crust, moves into a velvety smooth chocolate filling, and finishes with a silky ganache topping that makes it look like it came from a fancy bakery.

My best advice for this recipe is to make sure your cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature before you start mixing. This simple step helps you get that perfectly smooth texture without any lumpy bits in your beautiful cheesecake.

🧺 Ingredients

1 and 1/2 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
32 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 and 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup sour cream, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs, room temperature
8 ounces semi sweet chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9 inch springform pan.
2
Mix the chocolate crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a small bowl until combined, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared pan.
3
Bake the crust for 10 minutes and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
4
Beat the cream cheese and sugar together in a large bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
5
Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
6
Add the eggs one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition just until combined.
7
Stir in the melted chocolate until the batter is a uniform color.
8
Pour the batter over your cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
9
Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still has a slight wobble.
10
Turn the oven off and leave the oven door slightly ajar for one hour to let the cheesecake cool slowly.
11
Remove the pan from the oven and chill the cheesecake in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
12
To make the topping, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer, then pour it over the chocolate chips.
13
Let it sit for 5 minutes, stir until smooth, and pour the ganache over the chilled cheesecake before serving.

💡 Tips

To get clean slices every time, run your knife under hot water and wipe it dry between each cut. Keep any leftovers covered in the fridge for up to five days. This dessert actually tastes even better the next day after the flavors have had time to settle.
