Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove and let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Place the dark chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly, then fold it into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Pour the chocolate cheesecake filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top using a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Before serving, optionally top with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings for an extra touch of elegance.
Slice, serve, and enjoy!
