Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
Combine all Crust ingredients and press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Bake crust for 8-10 minutes. Let cool.
In a large bowl, beat all Filling ingredients until smooth and creamy.
Pour filling over cooled crust.
Bake for 55-70 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
Let cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Make the Ganache: Heat Heavy Cream in a saucepan until simmering. Pour over chopped Semi-Sweet Chocolate. Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth.
Pour Ganache over chilled cheesecake and spread evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow Ganache to set.
