For the Chocolate Glaze

Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave according to manufacturer’s instructions.

Pour the chocolate evenly over the cheesecake. This can be done after slicing the cheesecake.

Note: If you chill any of the slices with the chocolate topping already on, it will harden quite a bit. You can then just pick up the slice and eat it like a brownie.
