Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs e.g., Oreos
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 24 oz 3 blocks cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate melted and cooled
  • 3 large eggs

For the Ganache Topping:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz dark chocolate chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and line the bottom of a 9" springform pan.
  • Mix cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press firmly into the pan bottom. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, sour cream, and vanilla; mix well.
  • Stir in melted chocolate. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low until just combined.
  • Pour batter over crust. Tap gently to remove air bubbles.
  • Bake for 55–65 minutes, until center is slightly jiggly. Cool 1 hour, then chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • For ganache: heat cream until steaming, pour over chopped chocolate. Let sit 2 mins, then stir smooth.
  • Pour ganache over chilled cheesecake. Spread evenly and chill until set.

Notes

  • Room temperature ingredients blend smoother.
  • Don’t overmix once eggs are in—prevents cracks.
  • Use a water bath for extra-smooth texture.
