Ingredients
For the Crust
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
For the Cheesecake Filling
- 4 packages (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs Add one at a time
For Topping
- 1 cup chocolate ganache
- 1 cup vanilla pudding
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Making the Filling
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Then, add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the pan.
Baking and Chilling
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Let cool, then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
Assembling the Cheesecake
- Once chilled, layer the vanilla pudding on top of the cheesecake, followed by the chocolate ganache.
Notes
Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing. Be gentle when mixing in the eggs to prevent too much air from getting into the batter, which can cause cracks. For a smoother ganache, stir it gently until it reaches a shiny and creamy consistency. You can also add a layer of sliced bananas or strawberries on top of the vanilla pudding for added flavor.
