Decadent, creamy, and irresistibly rich, this Chocolate Cheesecake Pie is the perfect blend of two classic desserts. A velvety chocolate cheesecake filling meets a buttery crust, creating a dessert that feels both indulgent and effortless.
With every bite, you get the deep, luxurious taste of chocolate balanced by the smooth tang of cream cheese. The contrast of textures—silky filling against a crisp crust—makes it an instant crowd-pleaser for any occasion. This isn’t just a pie; it’s a celebration of chocolate in its most luscious form.
Whether topped with a dusting of cocoa, a drizzle of ganache, or a dollop of whipped cream, it’s the kind of treat that turns any day into something special.

Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

- In a microwave-safe dish, melt the chopped chocolate or chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth, then set aside to cool for at least 15 minutes.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese on medium-high speed for 90 seconds until light and fluffy.

- Transfer the batter to the pie crust, using a spatula to spread it evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
