Best 9 Chocolate Cheesecake With Graham Cracker Crunch Recipes

CHOCOLATE CHIP CHEESECAKE WITH GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST

Steps:

• 1. Soften your cream cheese mixture about 30 minutes before you want to bake.
• 2. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Prep your 9″ round springform pan by spraying it with cooking spray around the edges and bottom. Set aside.
• 3. Crush your graham crackers. Place the crushed graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter into a medium bowl and stir until well combined.
• 4. Pour the graham cracker mixture into the springform pan. Spread evenly across the pan. Using a spoon or your hands, press the crumbs down to compress the mixture. Set aside.
• 5. Place the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Use a handheld or stand mixer and beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Add sweetened condensed milk and continue to beat until smooth. Then, add eggs and vanilla and mix well. Set the bowl aside for a moment.
• 6. Add the chocolate chips and flour to a small bowl and stir together to coat the chocolate chips with the flour. Using a spoon, remove the chocolate chips from the bowl and add 3/4 of the chocolate chips to the cream cheese mixture. Any excess flour in the bowl can be discarded. Give the mixture a gentle stir to incorporate the chocolate chips into the cream cheese filling.
• 7. Pour the cream cheese mixture on top of the graham cracker crust. Use a spatula, clean out the bowl and level the cream cheese mixture in the pan. Scatter the remaining chocolate chips on the top of the cheesecake.
• 8. Place cheesecake on the center rack and bake for one hour or until cake springs back when touched. Cool to room temperature and cool overnight.

• In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and melted butter, and use fingers to mix well. Press firmly into prepared pan, evenly covering the bottom and about 1/2 inch up the sides. Refrigerate until ready to bake.
• In a microwave or the top of a double boiler, heat sour cream and chocolate together just until chocolate is melted. Mix until smooth.
• In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and fluffy, at least 2 minutes. Mix in eggs one at a time. At low speed, gradually pour in chocolate mixture and mix until smooth.
• Pour filling over the crust in the pan and bake about 1 1/2 hours, until top is set and dry but still jiggles in the center when you shake the pan.
• Set aside to cool and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 2 days.
• For garnish, place graham crackers in a thick sealable plastic bag and crush, using your hands or a pot, into irregular crumbs. In a small skillet, melt butter until it foams. Add crumbs and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted and fragrant.

DARK CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• For the crust: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 6-inch springform pan with cooking spray to coat the bottom and sides.
• Add the graham crackers to a resealable plastic bag. Using your hands or a rolling pin, crush the graham crackers into crumbs. Transfer them to a mixing bowl and add the melted butter. Fold and press together with a spatula until a loose, crumbly mixture is made. Pour the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and press to create an even base for the cheesecake. Chill the crust in the fridge while you make the filling to set the base.
• For the filling: Add the chocolate to a heatproof bowl and set the bowl over a pan of simmering water. Heat, stirring with a spatula, until the chocolate is melted and completely smooth. Set aside.
• Mix the cream cheese, sugar and cocoa powder in a food processor until smooth. Remove the lid and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the vanilla, salt and egg and process until completely incorporated. Scrape down the sides once more. Turn the machine back on and while the machine is running, drizzle in the melted chocolate and allow it to completely incorporate into the mixture.
• Pour the chocolate filling over the prepared crust and smooth out the top with a spatula. Transfer the cheesecake to the center rack and bake until the filling is no longer soupy but still slightly jiggly, about 32 minutes. Turn off the oven and open the door just a hair. Allow the cheesecake to sit in the warm oven for 15 more minutes with the door ajar.
• Transfer the cheesecake to a cooling rack and let cool for 30 minutes.
• Run a sharp knife around the edge of the pan to help free the cheesecake, but keep it in the pan. The cheesecake will continue to shrink while it cools and this step makes it easier to separate the cheesecake when you are ready to serve it.
• For the topping: Pour the cherry pie filling onto the cooled cheesecake and smooth into an even layer, leaving a bit uncovered around the edges. Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• When you are ready to eat, remove the cheesecake from the fridge and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with a sprig of mint and serve.
