How to Make Triple Chocolate Cheesecake
1. Make the crust
Crush chocolate cookies and mix with melted butter, then press into the pan. The texture is similar to the base layer of our Skillet S’mores Dip.
2. Prepare the cheesecake filling
Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then add eggs, cocoa, melted chocolate, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
The glossy batter will remind you of mixing our Nutella Brownies or 2-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse.
3. Bake gently
Bake low and slow until the edges set but the center still jiggles slightly.
4. Add the ganache
Warm the cream, pour over chopped chocolate, and stir until smooth. Spread it on top of the cooled cheesecake.
5. Chill completely
Refrigerate for several hours or overnight. It slices beautifully once fully chilled.
