Cheesecake Base

Method

Cheesecake Preparation

1

Make the Cheesecake Base

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the cocoa powder until fully combined.

2

Prepare the Crust

In a separate bowl, combine the chocolate graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan.

3

Combine and Bake

Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside the oven with the door ajar for about an hour.

4

Chill

Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
