Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Servings 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 32 oz cream cheese, softened (four 8-oz blocks)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar together. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  • Make the pastry cream by whisking egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in butter and vanilla. Cover surface with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cool.
  • Beat cream cheese on medium speed until smooth. Add sugar and mix well. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low after each. Stir in sour cream, vanilla, and flour until just combined.
  • Pour half the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Spread the chilled pastry cream evenly on top. Pour the remaining cheesecake filling over the pastry cream layer.
  • Bake at 325°F for 55 to 60 minutes until edges are set and center has a slight jiggle. Turn oven off, crack the door, and let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  • Heat heavy cream until simmering, pour over chopped chocolate, and let sit 2 minutes. Stir until smooth, then pour over the chilled cheesecake. Spread evenly and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
