To make this Creamy Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake, you will need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the cheesecake filling:

- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the chocolate mousse:

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix well and press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside to cool.
Next, prepare the cheesecake filling. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Pour the mixture over the cooled crust and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the cheesecake is set. Let it cool completely.
For the chocolate mousse, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Let it cool for 10 minutes.
Once the cheesecake has cooled, pour the chocolate mousse over the top and spread it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the mousse is set.
When ready to serve, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
This Creamy Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake is a perfect combination of creamy, rich, and chocolatey flavors. The cheesecake filling is smooth and creamy, while the chocolate mousse adds a decadent touch. The crust adds a nice crunch to the dessert, making it a perfect treat for any occasion.
