Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- Chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Add eggs, one at a time, blending well after each addition until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the melted chocolate and cocoa powder until well combined.
- Fold the chocolate mixture into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top.
- Bake for 1 hour or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings before slicing and serving.
