Unsalted butter – Make sure the butter is properly softened for the crust. It should still be cool and hold a fingerprint when pressed. Learn more: How to Soften Butter

Cream cheese – This also needs to be softened for mixing. Use full-fat, brick-style cream cheese for the best results.

All-purpose flour – Measure with a digital kitchen scale or use the spoon and level method for accuracy. Learn more: How to Measure Flour

Granulated sugar – Provides the perfect balance of sweetness for the filling.

Semisweet chocolate – Use a good quality chocolate bar, chopped, for the best flavor and smoothest melting. Avoid chocolate chips, as they contain stabilizers that can affect the texture.

Egg – Let this come to room temperature before mixing for the best incorporation.

Vanilla extract – Enhances the overall flavor with warm, aromatic notes. Use store-bought or homemade vanilla extract.
