Description

A rich chocolate cheesecake decorated with a simple white chocolate spiderweb pattern.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 ounces white chocolate, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Wrap the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan in heavy-duty foil.
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in 1 cup sugar and cocoa powder until combined. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated after each addition. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter over the cooled crust.
  7. Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan. Carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
  8. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
  9. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
  10. Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  11. To make the web, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the chilled cheesecake in concentric circles.
  12. Drag a toothpick from the center to the edge in several places to create the spiderweb design.
  13. Chill again before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for the cheesecake batter for a smoother texture.
  • The water bath helps prevent cracking.
  • Chill the cheesecake completely before attempting the spiderweb design.
