Ingredients

Scale

For the crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ⅓ cup melted butter
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

For the filling:

  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

For the topping (optional):

  • Additional mini chocolate chips
  • Whipped cream

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat until fully combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth.
  7. Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  8. Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top.
  9. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or until set.
  10. Before serving, top with additional mini chocolate chips and whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • Always soften your cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps.

  • Fold the whipped cream gently to keep the filling airy.

  • Use mini chips for better distribution and easier slicing.

  • Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours—overnight is even better.

  • Add toppings right before serving to keep them fresh.

  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.

  • This recipe can be adapted to individual servings using cupcake liners or jars.

  • Want more chocolate? Drizzle the top with ganache or hot fudge.

  • Consider flavor swaps like mint extract or espresso powder for a twist.
