4-Ingredient Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe by Tasty image

This is a twist on the classic 3-ingredient Japanese cheesecake-we swapped out the white chocolate for milk chocolate and added a little sugar to sweeten things up. It's light, airy, and perfect when you want something decadent but only have a few ingredients on hand.

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
8 oz milk chocolate chips
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
½ cup sugar
6 large eggs, room temperature, whites and yolks separated
boiling water, for baking
maraschino cherry, for garnish-optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (170°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment paper. Set the pan inside a larger roasting pan.
  • Add the chocolate chips to a large heatproof bowl. Microwave on 50% power for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted.
  • Whisk in the cream cheese and sugar, then let cool for 5 minutes. Add the egg yolks and whisk to incorporate.
  • Add the egg whites to a separate large bowl. Whip with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture, a little at a time, until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Carefully pour the boiling water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the side of the cake pan.
  • Carefully transfer to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set.
  • Remove from the oven, let cool completely, then transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until very cold.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator and invert onto a serving plate. Peel off the parchment paper.
  • Slice and garnish with maraschino cherries, if desired.
  • Enjoy!
