– 16 oz cream cheese, 2 packages

Instructions
In a bowl, thoroughly mix graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, salt, and butter. Press evenly into a springform pan. Chill.
In a medium bowl, place cream cheese and beat with hand beaters until smooth. Gently pour in cream, adding gradually while stirring, until it’s fully incorporated.
Add sugar, vanilla, and salt, then beat until very smooth. Don’t forget to scrape the sides. Gradually add cocoa powder into the smooth cream-cheese mixture and beat on medium speed until it’s fully incorporated.
Pour onto chilled crust and smooth out the top. Freeze for 3 hours or refrigerate overnight. Before serving, pour pie filling over the cheesecake.
Enjoy!
