Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 2 cups crushed chocolate cookies Substitute with graham crackers for a classic taste.
  • 1/2 cup melted butter No substitutions recommended.
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 16 oz cream cheese Use full-fat brick-style for best results.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Light brown sugar can enhance flavor depth.
  • 8 oz melted dark chocolate Opt for 60% to 72% cocoa for best balance.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract No alternatives suggested.
  • 3 large eggs Beat minimally to avoid cracking.
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries Frozen can be used but may alter texture.

Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula
  • measuring cups
  • Measuring Spoons

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine crushed chocolate cookies with melted butter. Press the mixture into the prepared springform pan.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Fold in melted dark chocolate and vanilla extract.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed. Fold in raspberries, keeping some whole for presentation.
  5. Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top. Tap the pan to release air bubbles.
  6. Bake for about 60 minutes. The center should be slightly jiggly when done.
  7. Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing cheesecake to cool for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Remove the sides of the springform pan, slice, and garnish with extra raspberries or melted chocolate if desired.
