Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 25 cookies chocolate sandwich cookies
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups fresh raspberries
- 0.5 cups raspberry preserves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set it aside.
In a food processor, pulse the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse until combined.
Press the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to create the crust. Place the pan in the freezer while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar with a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Mix in the melted and slightly cooled semisweet chocolate and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Pour the chocolate cheesecake batter over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven, crack the oven door slightly, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
After the cheesecake has cooled in the oven, transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Once fully chilled, spread the raspberry preserves over the top of the cheesecake in an even layer.
Sprinkle the fresh raspberries over the raspberry preserves to create a decorative topping.
Carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve. Enjoy your Easy Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake!
