Cook's notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth, lump-free filling.
  • For a deeper chocolate flavor, substitute half the vanilla with a teaspoon of instant espresso powder.
  • Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, for the best texture and clean slices.

Easy swaps

  • Instead of 1 sugar (for crust), use 1/4 cup powdered sugar or coconut sugar
  • Instead of 4 butter, use 4 tablespoons vegan butter or coconut oil (solid)
  • Instead of 2 flour, use 2 tablespoons almond flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • Instead of 12 sugar (for filling), use 3/4 cup granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener

Frequently asked

Can I use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips?

Yes, but the cheesecake will be sweeter and less rich. Adjust sugar in the filling to taste.

Why did my cheesecake crack?

Overmixing or overbaking can cause cracks. Beat eggs just until mixed, and check for doneness when the center still jiggles slightly.

Can I make this cheesecake gluten-free?

Absolutely! Use gluten-free graham crackers or cookies for the crust, and substitute the flour with a gluten-free all-purpose blend.
