Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cheesecake. Aim for a chocolate that is at least 70% cacao.
  • Don't overbeat the cheesecake batter. Overbeating can make the cheesecake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cheesecake to set properly.
  • Serve the cheesecake with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and fresh berries.
