Total Time2 hours
Servings: 10 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup milk or half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup Original Bisquick mix
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 16 ounces cream cheese two 8-ounce packages, softened and cut into chunks
  • 3/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt lite is okay
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for the glaze
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for the glaze
  • 1 ounce dark chocolate about, chopped for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Thoroughly spray a 9-inch round pie dish (at least 2 inches deep) with cooking spray and set it on a baking sheet.
  • Add the 2 eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 3/4 cup milk or half-and-half, 1/2 cup Bisquick mix, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract to the blender. Blend on high until smooth, about 15–30 seconds.
  • Add the softened cream cheese (cut into chunks) to the blender and blend on high until the batter is completely smooth, about 1–2 minutes depending on blender power.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish placed on the baking sheet and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a knife or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs but no liquid batter.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely; it will firm up and may fall slightly in the center.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth to make the glaze.
  • Evenly pour the glaze over the cooled cheesecake, keeping it toward the center and away from the raised crust edges. Sprinkle the chopped dark chocolate over the top.
  • Slice and serve, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
