Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of crust?
Yes! Graham cracker crumbs or digestive biscuits can be used instead of chocolate cookie crumbs for a milder flavor.
Do I need a water bath for this cheesecake?
A water bath isn’t necessary for this recipe since the layers bake individually, which minimizes the risk of cracking.
How do I melt the chocolate without burning it?
Melt chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time?
Absolutely! This cheesecake can be made 1–2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
How do I store leftovers?
Keep leftover cheesecake covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze individual slices for up to 2 months.
What can I substitute for heavy cream?
You can use full-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt, but the texture may be slightly different.
Can I use dark chocolate for all layers?
Yes! If you prefer a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate for all three layers.
