Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, melted
- Whipped cream and chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan to form the crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and cocoa powder, continuing to beat until well combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract.
- Fold in the melted chocolate until evenly incorporated into the batter.
- Pour the batter over the crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the center is set.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven with the door ajar for about 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Once chilled, remove from the springform pan and garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired.
Notes
For best results, use high-quality chocolate for melting, and ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. The longer the cheesecake chills, the better the texture and flavor will develop.
