Chocolate Chip Cheesecake
First things first, let’s feast our eyes on this beauty:
Now that we’ve admired our future deliciousness, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty—the ingredients! Here’s what you’ll need to make this mouth-watering cheesecake:
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Got all that? Great! Now, let’s make some magic happen! Here are the simple steps to whip up this delectable cheese delight:
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (that’s 163°C for your metric folks!).
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake it for about 10 minutes, then let it cool down.
- In another mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until creamy and smooth. Add the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition. Don’t forget the vanilla extract; that’s the magic potion!
- Next, stir in the sour cream and the lovely chocolate chips. At this point, a taste test may be appropriate—don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone!
- Pour this luscious batter over your cooled crust and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still has a slight jiggle. It’s like a dance party in your oven! 🎉
- Once done, turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool down in the oven for about an hour. Then chill it in the fridge for at least 4 hours (or overnight, if you can wait that long!).
- Finally, once it’s ready, slice, serve, and watch your friends and family fall in love with every creamy bite!
