Print Recipe

A delightful twist on Boston Cream Pie and cheesecake, featuring a creamy filling, crunchy graham cracker crust, and luscious chocolate ganache.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for chocolate layer)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for chocolate layer)
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for cheesecake filling)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for cheesecake filling)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for ganache)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for ganache)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Mix well and pour in melted butter, combining until it resembles wet sand. Press into the bottom of a springform pan and bake for about 10 minutes or until golden. Let cool.
  3. In a saucepan over low heat, combine 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Stir continuously until melted and smooth. Pour over the cooled crust.
  4. In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until creamy. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, then add eggs one at a time. Mix in 1 cup heavy cream and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour cheesecake filling over the chocolate layer in the springform pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for about 60-70 minutes until the top is set but the center slightly wobbles. Turn off the oven and let it sit for an additional hour.
  7. For the ganache, heat 1/2 cup heavy cream until simmering and add 1 cup chocolate chips. Stir until melted.
  8. Once the cheesecake has cooled, pour ganache over the top and spread evenly.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set completely.

Notes

Serve with whipped cream and fresh fruit for garnish. Use a hot knife to slice for clean edges.
