Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 chocolate cookie crust
- 2 cups cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup Hershey's chocolate syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning preparation to ensure smooth mixing.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, with no visible lumps.
- Gradually add powdered sugar to the cream cheese, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated and creating a uniform texture.
- Pour in Hershey's chocolate syrup and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until the ingredients are completely blended and the mixture becomes a rich chocolate color.
- Take the prepared chocolate cookie crust and carefully spread the chocolate cheesecake mixture evenly across the surface, using a spatula to smooth the top.
- Refrigerate the cheesepie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set and develop a firm consistency.
- Before serving, garnish the top of the cheesepie with generous dollops of whipped cream, creating decorative swirls or patterns.
- For best presentation, slice the cheesepie into 8 equal wedges and serve chilled.
- Store any remaining cheesepie covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Always ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to achieve a silky-smooth texture without lumps.
- Mix Gradually: When adding powdered sugar, mix on low speed to prevent creating a messy, sugar-filled kitchen and ensure even incorporation.
- Chill for Perfection: Refrigerating the cheesepie for at least 4 hours (or overnight) is crucial for setting the perfect consistency and allowing flavors to meld.
- Whipped Cream Technique: For a professional look, use a piping bag with a star tip to create beautiful whipped cream decorations on top.
- Serving Suggestion: Wipe your knife with a warm, damp cloth between slices to get clean, perfect cuts every time.
- Storage Tip: Always cover the cheesepie when storing in the refrigerator to prevent it from absorbing other food odors.
