  • 3 large eggs + 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 6 oz semi‑sweet chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  6. Turn oven off, crack door, let cheesecake cool inside ~1 hr. Transfer to fridge to chill ≥4 hr or overnight.
  7. For ganache: heat heavy cream until steaming, pour over chopped chocolate and corn syrup; let sit, then stir until smooth.

Notes

  • Swap crust for Oreo, chocolate graham, or gingersnap crumbs.
  • Add cocoa powder to batter or top with brownie crumbles for extra chocolate richness.
  • Enhance flavor with lemon zest, coffee powder, or almond extract.
