#### Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- Optional: Whipped cream and sliced almonds for topping
#### Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Crust:**
- In a small bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
- Press this mixture into the bottom of a microwave-safe 8-inch pie dish or a smaller glass container (ensure it’s round to fit the microwave better).
- Microwave on high for about 30 seconds. This will help set the crust.
2. **Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:**
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; mix well until fully incorporated.
- Slowly pour in milk while continuously mixing to avoid lumps. Ensure everything is mixed thoroughly.
3. **Add Chocolate for Rich Flavor:**
- Melt the chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate by placing them on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir and repeat if needed until fully melted.
- Once melted, gently fold the chocolate into the cheesecake batter to ensure it’s evenly distributed.
4. **Pour into Prepared Crust:**
- Pour the mixture into the prepared crust in the pie dish or glass container.
- Smooth out the top with a spatula to remove any air bubbles and make sure the surface is even.
5. **Microwave the Cheesecake:**
- Microwave on high for about 2 minutes, then let it sit for 30 seconds before checking if it’s set by gently shaking the container.
- If it isn’t quite set yet, microwave in 15-second intervals until fully set (it should wobble slightly when moved).
6. **Cool and Serve:**
- Once done, allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature for about an hour or refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving.
- Garnish with whipped cream and sliced almonds if desired.

### Tips:
- Always use high-quality ingredients; they significantly impact the taste!
- Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting, as this helps in achieving a smoother texture.
- If you don’t have graham cracker crumbs, you can crush up store-bought or homemade graham crackers for a similar effect.
Enjoy your delicious and creamy chocolate lovers cheesecake right from the comfort of your kitchen! Perfect for quick dessert cravings or unexpected guests.
