    Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake with a chocolate graham cracker crust
    It seems like a lifetime ago, but I spend a large part of my young adult life working at the Cheesecake Factory. It’s been awhile, but I think the Cheesecake Factory has even more Cheesecake options these days than when I worked there. Although, I’d argue that some have morphed from being a cheesecake to being some other species of dessert.  Naturally, after all of this experience, I still consider myself somewhat of an expert on Cheesecakes. On this website, we definitely haven’t shied away from cheesecake recipes. We’ve got everything from Halloween Cheesecake Bites and Cheesecake Salads to classic recipes like Strawberry Cheesecake Bites and Blueberry Cheesecake.
    But, one of my favorite Cheesecakes on the menu was always the Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake. It was light, smooth and creamy with just the amount of chocolate flavor. I LOVE chocolate, but don’t like desserts when they are too rich. So, I thought it would be fun to share our own version of Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake!

    Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake

    Some people can get intimidated when making a cheesecake recipe. There is no need to be. Just take your time and follow the instructions. The most import tool you will be using for this recipe is the spring form pan. It is crucial that you use this!

    Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake Recipe involved cream cheese, sugar, eggs and chocolate frosting.

    Ingredients Needed For Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake

    Here’s what you’ll need to grab at the store if you don’t already have it:

    • chocolate graham crackers
    • butter, melted
    • semisweet chocolate
    • butter
    • cream cheese, softened
    • heavy whipping cream
    • vanilla
    • white sugar
    • cocoa powder
    • egg
    • white frosting
    • chocolate frosting

    Tips For Making The Perfect Cheesecake

    • This recipe calls for regular cream cheese and heavy whipping cream. We’d suggest against using reduced fat or fat free versions of these ingredients. Come on! You only live once!
    • Make sure you soften the cream cheese before adding it into the recipe. In fact, you want all the ingredients to be as close to room temperature as possible. This helps them blend up smoothly to get that creamy cheesecake we all love.
    • Avoid opening the oven during cooking. Drafts can cause cracks!
    • You’ll know the cheesecake is done when you see the middle jiggle a bit when you shake or tap the pan.
    • It’s not a bad idea to line the bottom of your springform pan with aluminum foil so that it is easier to get the cheesecake out and onto a platter when finished cooking.

    Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake Instructions include melting the chocolate and butter together.

    Variations To Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake

    • While we use chocolate graham crackers for this recipe, you could certainly use Oreo. Just put them in the food processor (cream filling and all). Alternately, you can also use regular graham crackers to ease up on the chocolate a bit.
    • We top our Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake with a combo of white and chocolate frosting. It’s awesome. But if topping cheesecake with frosting really isn’t really your thing, you could certainly top it with homemade whipped cream.
    • I’m sure none of your friends or family would have a problem if you topped this cheesecake with some mini-chocolate chips!
