Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour. Then remove it and let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Prepare the Chocolate Topping
