This easy cheesecake recipe is finished with a sweet mascarpone topping made with ricotta, cinnamon, and mini chocolate chips.
You'll only need a few simple ingredients to make this easy recipe. Let's round them up and get started!
Pulse graham crackers in a food processor, then combine with melted butter and other crust ingredients.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and par-bake the crust for 8-10 minutes.
Fill a large pan with about a half-inch of water. Place this into the oven to preheat.
Whisk together eggs, yolks, vanilla, and heavy cream. Then beat the sugar, cream cheese, and sour cream.
Gradually add the egg mixture, and lastly, fold in the chocolate chips.
Transfer the filling to your prepared crust.
Place the cheesecake in a water bath and bake. Then turn the oven off and let it cool down slowly before placing it in the fridge to chill.
Combine the mascarpone and ricotta with powdered sugar and cinnamon.
Once smooth, stir in additional mini chocolate chips.
Spread the topping generously over the top of the chilled cheesecake.
Garnish with mini cannoli and whipped cream if desired.
