Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz (230 g) semi-sweet chocolate, melted
- 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to mix until well combined. Next, incorporate the melted semi-sweet chocolate, mixing thoroughly to achieve a uniform chocolate color and texture. Finally, add the eggs one at a time, gently folding each into the mixture just until blended to maintain a smooth filling.
- Bake the cheesecake: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Pour the chocolate cream cheese filling into a prepared springform pan or baking dish. Place it in the oven and bake for approximately 45-55 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still slightly jiggles when gently shaken. This ensures a creamy, custard-like consistency.
- Cool and chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour. Then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the cheesecake to fully set and develop its flavors before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Melt the chocolate gently using a double boiler or microwave in short intervals to prevent burning.
- You can add a graham cracker crust or chocolate cookie crust for added texture, though this is optional.
- Serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream or fresh berries for decoration.
