Mixing bowl
Electric mixer
Spatula
9-inch springform pan
Saucepan
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs like chocolate Oreo or graham crackers
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 3 8 oz packages cream cheese softened
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips melted
- 1/2 cup heavy cream for ganache
- 4 oz semisweet chocolate chopped for ganache
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs, sugar, and melted butter; press into a 9-inch springform pan.
Bake the crust for 8 to 10 minutes and let it cool.
Beat together cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl until smooth.
Add heavy cream, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each.
Fold in melted chocolate and heavy cream until smooth.
Pour cheesecake filling over the cooled crust; smooth it out.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool slowly inside.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until simmering; pour it over chopped chocolate and let sit before stirring until smooth to make ganache.
Pour ganache over the chilled cheesecake and let it spread evenly.
Refrigerate for an additional hour to set the ganache.
Slice and serve; garnish as desired.
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free cookies for the crust. You can substitute dark chocolate for semisweet for a richer flavor. For a dairy-free option, try using coconut cream instead of heavy cream. Make sure to use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother batter. Chill your cheesecake before slicing for better results. Enjoy garnishing with chocolate shavings or fresh berries!
