4-INGREDIENT CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F (170°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment paper. Set the pan inside a larger roasting pan.
• Add the chocolate chips to a large heatproof bowl. Microwave on 50% power for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted.
• Whisk in the cream cheese and sugar, then let cool for 5 minutes. Add the egg yolks and whisk to incorporate.
• Add the egg whites to a separate large bowl. Whip with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
• Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture, a little at a time, until just combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Carefully pour the boiling water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the side of the cake pan.
• Carefully transfer to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set.
• Remove from the oven, let cool completely, then transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until very cold.
• Remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator and invert onto a serving plate. Peel off the parchment paper.
• Slice and garnish with maraschino cherries, if desired.
• Enjoy!
