To add a chocolatey depth to the batter without dominating the cheesecake's distinctively creamy texture, mix in some cocoa powder.
For a marbled appearance and strong chocolate flavor, swirl melted chocolate through the dough.
To add a rich, glossy finish that enhances the dessert, cover the cheesecake with a smooth chocolate ganache.
To ensure that every bite has gooey pockets of melted chocolate, fold chocolate chips into the batter.
Melted dark chocolate can be blended into the batter to give it a rich, creamy texture and a strong, fudgy flavor.
