For a richer flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate with a cacao content of 70% or higher. Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling. Do not overmix the filling after adding the whipped cream, as this can cause it to deflate. Garnish with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or fresh berries for an elegant presentation. You can also add some chocolate curls. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

03
StepPress the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and 1/2-inch up the sides of an 8-inch springform pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to create a compact crust. (10 minutes)

StepIn a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth. Allow to cool slightly. (2 minutes)
06
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together cocoa powder and enough hot water to form a smooth, thick paste. (2 minutes)
07
StepIn a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and the remaining granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the cocoa paste and mix until well combined. (5 minutes)
08
StepIn a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip. (5 minutes)
09
StepGently fold the cooled melted chocolate into the whipped cream until just combined. (3 minutes)

StepFold the chocolate cream mixture into the cream cheese mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the cream. Mix until thoroughly combined. (5 minutes)
11
StepPour the chocolate filling over the prepared graham cracker crust and spread evenly. (2 minutes)
12
