    • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

    • ¼ cup granulated sugar

    • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

    Instructions

    1. Prepare the Crust

    • Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).

    • Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly open.

    • Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.

    4. Melt & Drizzle the Chocolate

    • Melt chocolate and coconut oil (or butter) in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
