Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Springform pan (9 inches)
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Saucepan
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until it resembles wet sand. Press into the base of a 9-inch springform pan.
  3. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Gradually add heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and flour, mixing until fully incorporated.
  5. Pour the batter over the cooled crust and bake for 50-60 minutes until the center is slightly jiggly but set. Let it cool completely at room temperature.
  6. For the pastry cream, heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming. Whisk together sugar, egg yolks, and cornstarch in a separate bowl.
  7. Slowly add heated milk to the egg mixture while whisking continuously. Pour back into the saucepan and cook until thickened. Stir in vanilla extract and allow to cool.
  8. For the chocolate ganache, heat heavy cream until hot but not boiling. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 1 minute. Stir until smooth.
  9. Spread the cooled pastry cream evenly over the cheesecake and pour the chocolate ganache over the top. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting for a smoother texture. A water bath can prevent cracks in the cheesecake and help create an even bake. Wrap leftover cheesecake in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. For a stunning presentation, sprinkle cocoa powder or powdered sugar on top, or add fresh berries around the edge before serving. Enjoy your decadent treat!
