Ingredients

Before you start baking, gather your ingredients to ensure you have everything you need. Here’s what you’ll require:

For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
For the Frosting:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Follow these easy steps to whip up your own Red Velvet Cheesecake:

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined, then press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Incorporate the sour cream, red food coloring, cocoa powder, and vinegar, blending until smooth.
Pour the cheesecake filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven and crack the door open, letting the cheesecake cool inside for about an hour. This helps prevent cracking.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven, and let it cool completely at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
For the frosting, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
Once the cheesecake is chilled, top it with the whipped cream frosting and garnish with chocolate shavings if desired.
Slice, serve, and enjoy!

This Red Velvet Cheesecake is perfect for holidays, birthdays, or any special celebration. Each layer will melt in your mouth, and the vibrant color will make it a lovely centerpiece on your dessert table!
