Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

11 ounces cream cheese, softened (not low-fat)
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1 (9-inch) graham cracker pie crust (or chocolate cookie pie crust)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Make sure you take the time to do this properly since the cream cheese has to blend thoroughly with the sweetened condensed milk to set up properly.
  • Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, beating constantly, adding the fresh lemon juice halfway through. Add the remaining sweetened condensed milk and beat until the mixture is smooth.
  • Pour into a graham cracker or cookie crust and chill at least 1 hour before serving.

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
8 oz milk chocolate chips
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
½ cup sugar
6 large eggs, room temperature, whites and yolks separated
boiling water, for baking
maraschino cherry, for garnish-optional

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!
