Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing it lightly.
  2. Combine crushed chocolate cookies with melted unsalted butter and press into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes until set.
  3. Beat cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, then incorporate sour cream and melted chocolate.
  4. Pour the cheesecake filling over the baked crust and bake for 50-60 minutes until edges are set but center jiggles slightly.
  5. Cool the cheesecake in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
  6. Heat heavy cream until simmering, pour over chocolate chips, and stir until smooth to make the ganache.
  7. Remove the cheesecake from the pan, pour ganache over the top, and chill briefly to set before serving.
