Total time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 1⅓ cups (11 ounces) cream cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- ¼ cup cocoa powder, plus more for dusting
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups (12 ounces) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi–Sweet Chocolate Morsels, melted and cooled slightly
- One 6-ounce ready-to-use graham cracker crust
- Flaky sea salt, to garnish
Directions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, brown sugar, cocoa powder, butter, vanilla and salt, and beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy, 5 minutes.
- Reduce the speed to medium low, pour in the melted chocolate* and mix until incorporated. Spoon the mixture into the graham cracker crust, dust with cocoa powder and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes, then serve. The cheesecake can be made and chilled up to 2 days in advance. *For alternative melting instructions: Microwave morsels in a small microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute on medium-high power, then stir until smooth. Morsels may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
