If you're a chocolate lover—and who isn't, right?—this triple chocolate cheesecake is seriously going to be your new best friend. I mean, it's a creamy, rich dessert straight from New York, with this twist where you layer three types of chocolate: dark, milk, and white. So, so good. Every bite gives you a smooth taste from the milk chocolate and a deep, almost decadent flavor from the dark. Really indulgent, yet fun. You get everything you want from an easy cheesecake recipe. Some folks go the no-bake route—pretty simple—but this one holds up perfectly in the fridge, staying moist and cool. Perfect for summer dinners or just chilling with friends.
And look, instead of the typical graham cracker crust, a lot of versions now feature an Oreo crust—for real—for an extra chocolate kick. This crunchy base contrasts beautifully with the silky smooth cream cheese filling, and it really really amps up the satisfaction level. And the ganache topping? A shiny, glossy layer poured over everything, making it look like it just came out of a bakery window. While New York-style cheesecakes are known for being dense, this one feels surprisingly light thanks to the creamy chocolate layers blending so well. It's a chocolate cheesecake recipe that brings serious indulgence without much fuss. Plus, creative folks are always mixing in new flavors. Sometimes there's a swirl of raspberry or caramel that makes an appearance. But, honestly, nothing beats that triple chocolate punch.
If you love homemade cheesecake and crave a chocolate dessert that really wows, this one definitely hits the mark. It’s the perfect treat for any gathering or just a special night in. Offers a great blend of flavors that will impress everyone who tries it.

To prepare the triple chocolate cheesecake, start by preparing the base: put the cocoa cookies in the blender and finely chop them. Melt the butter in a saucepan; meanwhile, place the chopped cookies in a bowl and gradually add the melted butter 1 mixing everything well. Butter a round cake pan, preferably springform, with a diameter of 9 inches; at this point, you can line the pan with parchment paper: cut a parchment paper disc of the same diameter as the base of the cake pan and two strips the same height as the sides, then line the cake pan itself. Pour the crumbled cookies into the parchment-covered cake pan 2 and compact the cookie base well with the help of a spoon 3. Let the mixture cool in the refrigerator for half an hour or in the freezer for about ten minutes.
Now focus on the filling: prepare three bowls for the three creams and place 250 g (9 oz) of cream cheese in each, stirring to soften it 4. Meanwhile, melt the 3 types of chocolate separately in a double boiler (or microwave) (5-6).
and incorporate them into each bowl containing the cream cheese, stirring until a creamy mixture is obtained (7-8-9).
Now take three bowls and soften the gelatin needed for each cream (3 g) separately in cold water for 10 minutes. Then take another 3 bowls and pour 1/3 cup of previously heated cream into each, and dissolve the well-wrung gelatin in each (3 g per bowl) (10-11). In the end, you should obtain 3 bowls each containing 1/3 cup of cream and 3 g of dissolved gelatin. Incorporate the first of the 3 cream and gelatin mixtures into the white chocolate using a whisk 12.
Perform the same operation for the other bowls of cream and gelatin, incorporating them into both milk chocolate and dark chocolate (13-14). Lastly, add the powdered sugar, mixing with a spatula 15.
Perform the same operation for all types of chocolate (16-17). Now that the creams are ready, you can assemble the cheesecake. Remove the now cold and compact cookie base from the refrigerator, start by pouring in the dark chocolate cream first 18, and let it rest in the refrigerator or freezer for 15-20 minutes.
When the first layer has begun to set, proceed with the second layer of milk chocolate 19, let it rest in the refrigerator for another 15-20 minutes, and finish by covering the surface with white chocolate 20. Place in the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours 21. Once the triple chocolate cheesecake is ready, garnish it as desired with shavings of dark, white, and milk chocolate.
