Simple Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe

When you just don't have the energy and time to mess around in the kitchen, a simple cheesecake is a fool-proof wonder.

The visual impact of this cake is remarkably pleasant, yet, it is one of the simplest desserts you will ever whip up. I encourage you to use a tiptop quality cream cheese for this cake, because it can make a substantial difference to the end flavor, texture, and taste of the cake.

Simple Chocolate Cheesecake

Crust:

  • 1 cup chocolate wafer cookies, finely crushed
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Cake:

  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup melted semi-sweet chocolate
  • 3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • Fresh whipped cream

Preheat oven to 350° degrees. Blend all ingredients for crust; spread onto bottom of 9-inch spring-form pan. Bake for 10 minutes or until slightly crispy.

Preheat oven to 450° degrees. While crust cools, mix cream cheese, sugar and the extracts until well blended. Add eggs; blend until well mixed. Slowly pour chocolate into batter and mix until color is smooth. Pour batter into spring-form pan and make sure to smooth out top. Bake for 10 minutes; reduce temperature to 250° degrees. Bake for 35 minutes longer. When done, remove edge from rim of spring-form pan and cool.

Serve with fresh whipped cream and chocolate garnishes or a fruit sauce.

Knock yourself out! 🙂
