Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp kosher salt
For the Filling
- 2 8z packages full-fat cream cheese, room temp
- 1 14oz can (1 1/4 cups) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 5 oz dark chocolate (I used 70%), roughly chopped
Instructions
For the Crust
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, salt and melted butter. Stir until mixture resembles wet sand. press the crumb mixture into a 9-inch springform pan, spreading it 11/2 to 2 inches up the side. Chill crust in the freezer for 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can bake the crust at 350F for 10 minutes, and let cool.
For the Filling
- Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double-broiler). Stirring occasionally until chocolate melts and is smooth and glossy. Carefully, remove from heat, and avoid getting any water in the bowl.
- To make the filling, in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, on medium speed, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the condensed milk and vanilla, beating on low until combined.
- Pour the filling over the chilled crust, and spoon the melted chocolate on top. Using a skewer or knife, make swirls in an 8-figure motion, going around the filling 2-3 times.
- Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 2-4 hours before serving.
