For an even smoother texture, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing. To prevent cracking, place a pan of hot water on the lower rack of the oven while baking the cheesecake. Gently tap the springform pan on the counter before baking to release any trapped air bubbles. If the top of the cheesecake begins to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking. For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate.
