Ingredients
  

For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Crust
  • 1 pre-made graham cracker crust

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all your ingredients, ensuring the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.
  2. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and powdered sugar, and beat until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer.
  4. Add the melted chocolate and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, then beat well until fully combined.
  5. Gently fold in the whipped cream using a spatula, maintaining an airy texture.
Assembly
  1. Pour the cheesecake mixture into the pre-made graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. Overnight chilling is recommended for best results.
  3. Once set, slice into bars and garnish with your favorite toppings, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute cream cheese with a non-dairy option. Avoid rushing the chilling process for optimal texture. Always melt chocolate in short bursts to prevent seizing.
