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