# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 163°C.

03 - In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
04 - Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to ensure a homogenous batter.
05 - Pour the cheese mixture over the prepared crust and smooth the surface.
06 - Place the pan in the oven and bake for 50–55 minutes, until the center is just set and the edges are light golden brown.
07 - Carefully remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
08 - While cooling, whisk powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and butter together in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously until the ganache is smooth and glossy.
09 - Pour the chocolate ganache over the cooled cheesecake, spreading to cover the surface evenly.
10 - Transfer the cheesecake to a refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight before slicing and serving.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For clean slices, dip a sharp knife in hot water and wipe dry between cuts.
