Equipment

  • 1 9-inch round cake pan greased and floured
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 mixing bowl large

Ingredients
  

Cheesecake Base

  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Chocolate Layer

  • 1 cup melted Dubai chocolate
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate melted

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 cup crushed pistachios
  • 1 ready-made graham cracker crust

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until fully incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  • Pour the prepared mixture into individual cups lined with graham cracker crust, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  • In a separate bowl, melt the Dubai chocolate and dark chocolate together using a double boiler. Once melted, allow to cool slightly before gently folding it into the cream cheese mixture.
  • For a uniform chocolate layer, pour the melted chocolate directly on top of the cheese mixture, allowing it to settle and create a smooth surface.
  • Place the cups in a baking dish, add a bit of water to the dish to create a water bath, and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  • After baking, let the cheesecake cups cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes before transferring them to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Serving

  • Before serving, garnish with a sprinkle of crushed pistachios and a drizzle of melted chocolate for an elegant finish.

Storage

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Enjoy chilled for best flavor.
