Step 1: Prepare the Crust

In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until evenly combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create a dense, compact layer. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up.

Step 2: Make the Chocolate Ganache

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth. Pour over the chilled crust and spread evenly. Return to fridge for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate sets.

Step 3: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold in whipped cream to create a fluffy, mousse-like filling.

Step 4: Assemble the Cheesecake

Spoon the cheesecake filling over the set chocolate layer. Smooth the top with a spatula. Pour caramel sauce evenly over the cheesecake and gently spread it across the surface.

Step 5: Add Optional Chocolate Drizzle

For an extra finishing touch, melt additional chocolate chips with a tablespoon of cream. Drizzle over the caramel layer, letting some run down the sides for a beautiful presentation.

Step 6: Chill and Serve

Cover and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. Slice and serve chilled for the full effect of the decadent layers.
