• For the Cheesecake Filling:
• 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• For the Chocolate Ganache:
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

Preparation Method

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the pan for a crust and bake for 8-10 minutes. Cool completely.
3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add cornstarch and mix.
4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low. Gradually add heavy cream and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
5. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Place the pan on a baking sheet.
6. Bake for 60-70 minutes until edges are set and center jiggles slightly. Turn off the oven and crack the door, cooling for 1 hour.
7. Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
8. For the ganache, heat heavy cream until hot, pour over chocolate chips, and whisk until smooth.
9. Pour ganache over the chilled cheesecake, spread evenly, and let set for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips and Conclusion

For extra indulgence, garnish with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of chocolate shavings.

To prevent cracks in the cheesecake, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing and avoid overbeating the batter.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
