Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

In a bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs, 6 tablespoons melted butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

Step 3: Make the Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat 24 oz softened cream cheese and 1 cup granulated sugar together until smooth. Add 3 large eggs one at a time, beating just until blended. Mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Step 4: Add Cream and Chocolate

Stir in 1 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup melted chocolate chips until the batter is smooth.

Step 5: Combine and Bake

Pour the filling over the crust in the pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is just set.

Step 6: Cool and Chill

Let the cheesecake cool for at least an hour before chilling in the fridge for another 4 hours or overnight for maximum yumminess.

Whip together 1 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
