Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Chocolate graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 24 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
- 1 cup Fudge chunks
- 0.5 cup Caramel sauce
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the springform pan and slightly up the sides to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the sour cream and vanilla extract to the mixture, blending until fully incorporated.
Mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully combined before adding the next.
Slowly pour in the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips and mix until the batter is fully combined and smooth.
Fold in the fudge chunks, reserving a few for garnish.
Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the pre-baked crust. Drizzle a few tablespoons of caramel sauce over the batter, then pour in the remaining batter to cover the sauce.
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool inside with the door cracked open for 1 hour.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Before serving, drizzle the top with remaining caramel sauce, whipped cream, and chocolate shavings. Garnish with reserved fudge chunks.
Slice and serve chilled, enjoying the rich, chocolate-heavy decadence!
