Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust
- 6 tablespoons butter melted
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
Cheesecake
- 1¼ cups heavy whipping cream
- 16 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
Graham Cracker Crust
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and cinnamon and mix well. Press mixture firmly into a 9" pie plate or springform pan.
- Transfer to the freezer for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
Chocolate Cheesecake
- Using a stand mixer, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Transfer to another large bowl and set aside.
- In the same bowl you used to whip the cream, beat the cream cheese using the paddle attachment until fluffy—about 3 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder to the cream cheese and beat again until fluffy.
- Slowly fold in the whipped cream until well-combined, then pour the mixture into your prepared crust.
- Refrigerate for 2 hours or until ready to serve. Enjoy!
Notes
Storing instructions: store lightly covered in the fridge for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
To bake the crust instead, bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 8 minutes, or until the edges are very lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before filling.
