Chocolate Ganache Cheesecake

We are such big fans of chocolate ganache over here. It’s the perfect topping to almost any dessert, tastes absolutely delicious and is two ingredients. Yes, just two: chocolate chips and whipping cream.

The bulk of our time on this dessert is spent on the crust, but it’s well worth it. This crunchy chocolate crust is like a homemade cookie at the bottom of your dessert. It takes more ingredients than your typical graham cracker crust, but I promise it goes so well with the chocolate ganache.
