Chocolate Cheesecake (With or Without Amarett recipe image
This decadent chocolate cheesecake offers a quick and easy way to satisfy sweet cravings without turning on the oven. The base is a crunchy, cinnamon-spiced crust made from crushed chocolate wafers and melted butter, providing a perfect textural contrast to the creamy filling. The filling itself is intensely chocolatey, blending softened cream cheese, melted chocolate chips, and a hint of vanilla or amaretto for complexity. Using a microwave method significantly reduces cooking time while maintaining a smooth, dense texture reminiscent of traditional baked versions. It&# 226;ÂÂs an ideal dessert for intimate gatherings or a luxurious treat for two, delivering rich, indulgent flavors in a fraction of the usual time.

Ingredients
  • 8 ounce CHOCOLATE WAFERS, crushed
  • 1/4 cup SUGAR
  • 1 teaspoon CINNAMON
  • 6 tablespoon BUTTER, melted
Directions
  1. 1
    In a medium bowl, combine the crushed chocolate wafers, sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand and clumps together when pressed.
  2. 2
    Press the wafer mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan to form a crust. Set aside.
  3. 3
    Place the cream cheese in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, or until softened enough to be easily spreadable.
  4. 4
    In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  5. 5
    To the softened cream cheese, add the sugar, melted chocolate chips, cornstarch, and heavy cream. Beat with a mixer or whisk until completely smooth and creamy.
  6. 6
    Beat in the jumbo eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract or amaretto.
  7. 7
    Pour the chocolate filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. 8
    Microwave the cheesecake on high for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. Allow to cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours to set.
