Chocolate San Sebastian Cheesecake Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), ensuring the oven rack is in the center.
  2. Blend softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar, mixing until fluffy.
  3. Incorporate large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to achieve a custardy texture.
  4. Melt baking chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  5. Mix melted chocolate into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
  6. Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the mixture, stirring until glossy.
  7. Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the pan, smoothing the top.
  8. Bake for approximately 45 minutes, until the edges are set and the center remains slightly jiggly.
  9. Cool at room temperature for about an hour, then refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
  10. Carefully remove from the springform pan, slice with a hot knife, and serve as desired.
