Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
Chocolate Layer
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Cheesecake Filling
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
Topping
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- Additional chocolate chips and heavy cream for final drizzle (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well mixed. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to create the crust layer. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.
- Prepare the Chocolate Layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth. Pour this chocolate mixture over the chilled crust and spread evenly. Place the pan back in the fridge for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate firms up.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream to add a light, airy texture.
- Assemble the Layers: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the chocolate layer, spreading it evenly. Pour caramel sauce on top, smoothing it out gently with a spatula.
- Final Chocolate Drizzle: Melt additional chocolate chips with a bit of heavy cream, if desired, for a final drizzle. Pour over the caramel layer, allowing some to drip down the sides.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or until fully set. Slice and enjoy the delicious layers of chocolate, caramel, and creamy cheesecake!
Notes
- Use a springform pan for easy removal of the cheesecake.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened for a smooth filling.
- Allow each layer to chill sufficiently to help the cheesecake set properly.
- The final chocolate drizzle is optional but adds an extra layer of flavor and presentation appeal.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days.
