Tips:

  • To achieve a smooth and creamy cheesecake batter, ensure that the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. This will allow it to mix more easily with the other ingredients, preventing lumps.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is recommended.
  • Do not overbeat the cheesecake batter, as this can result in a dense and crumbly texture. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath to prevent cracks on the surface. Place the cheesecake pan inside a larger pan filled with hot water.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before refrigerating. This will help it set properly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use a combination of unsweetened chocolate and semisweet chocolate in the ganache.
