Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
24 oz cream cheese, softened
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips, melted
1/4 cup cocoa powder
Chocolate sauce (for topping)
Whipped cream (for topping)

Directions:

Make the Crust: In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until you have a well-blended mixture. Press this firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Freeze while you prepare the filling.
Make the Cheesecake Ice Cream Base: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy. Add the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is smooth. Stir in the melted chocolate chips and cocoa powder until it’s fully combined.
Assemble and Freeze: Pour the cheesecake ice cream mixture over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for 6 hours or overnight until it is firm.
Serve It Up: Before serving, drizzle chocolate sauce over the top, add a swirl of whipped cream, and sprinkle with extra graham cracker crumbs.
