Ingredients
Scale:
1 ½ cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup granulated sugar
16 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs, at room temperature
8 ounces dark chocolate, melted and cooled
8 ounces milk chocolate, melted and cooled
8 ounces white chocolate, melted and cooled
1 cup heavy cream
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
Chocolate shavings or curls for garnishing
Fresh berries (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a medium bowl, mix the chocolate graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Divide the cream cheese mixture into three bowls. Mix in the melted dark chocolate in the first bowl, melted milk chocolate in the second bowl, and melted white chocolate in the third bowl.
Pour the dark chocolate filling over the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula, followed by the milk chocolate layer, and then the white chocolate layer.
Place the springform pan in a larger baking dish and fill the outer dish with hot water. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for another hour to cool. Afterward, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add chopped semi-sweet chocolate. Stir until smooth.
Pour the chocolate ganache over the chilled cheesecake and spread evenly. Chill for another hour to set the ganache.
Garnish with chocolate shavings or fresh berries before serving.
