- Prepare the chocolate glaze: While the cheesecake is chilling, you can prepare the glossy chocolate glaze that will top the dessert. In a small saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, butter, and water. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. The chocolate should melt evenly, and the mixture should become smooth and shiny. Once the chocolate has fully melted, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. The glaze should thicken just enough to pour over the cheesecake without running off too quickly.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Once the cheesecake is thoroughly chilled and set, remove it from the springform pan. Place the cheesecake on a serving platter. Pour the cooled chocolate glaze over the top of the cheesecake, allowing it to cascade down the sides in a beautiful, glossy layer. Use a spatula to spread the glaze evenly over the surface if necessary. The chocolate will firm up slightly as it cools, creating a smooth, shiny finish. If desired, you can garnish the cheesecake with a few extra chocolate shavings or a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch of elegance.
- Serve and enjoy: Slice the cheesecake with a sharp knife that has been dipped in hot water to achieve clean cuts. Serve each slice chilled and enjoy the combination of the creamy cheesecake, crunchy graham cracker crust, and the rich chocolate topping. This Boston Cream Pie Cheesecake pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or a glass of dessert wine.
