Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
- 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional for chocolate version)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered cocoa (optional for chocolate version)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the crust by mixing the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a medium-sized bowl until well combined.
Step 2
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8- or 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the cheesecake filling.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, and continue beating until well incorporated and smooth.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Step 6
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until the filling is fully combined and silky.
Step 7
If making the chocolate version, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second increments, stirring between each, until smooth. Allow to cool slightly, then mix the melted chocolate and powdered cocoa into the cheesecake filling until evenly distributed.
Step 8
Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top for presentation.
Step 9
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. Overnight chilling is recommended for best results.
Step 10
Serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries (for the regular version) before serving.
