  • Fold in the whipped heavy cream until no streaks remain.
  • Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
  • Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for one hour.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake overnight to chill completely.
  • Prepare the ganache by heating the heavy cream and pouring it over chopped chocolate, stirring until smooth.
  • Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring it over the cheesecake, letting it set before slicing.
