Notes

This cheesecake can be served with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of melted chocolate. If you want to make this recipe even more indulgent, you can top it with a layer of melted caramel or butterscotch sauce. For a lighter version, you can substitute the dark chocolate chips with white chocolate chips or leave them out altogether.
