Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling
  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted Choose your favorite; we won’t tell!
For the Topping
  • Whipped cream Store-bought or homemade, no judgment here!
  • Chocolate shavings Because we all need a little extra flair!

Method
 

Crust Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are well-coated.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Filling Preparation
  1. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy and free of lumps.
  3. Gently fold in the melted chocolate.
  4. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, and then fold this into the chocolate mixture gently.
Assembly
  1. Pour the chocolate filling over the crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.
  2. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or for best results, overnight.
Serving
  1. When ready to serve, whip up some cream for a delightful topping, sprinkle on those chocolate shavings, and invite everyone to dig in!

Notes

Feel free to experiment with the type of chocolate you use – dark chocolate for a rich experience or milk chocolate for something sweeter. Add a pinch of sea salt to elevate the chocolate flavor. Giving it ample time in the fridge will improve its texture and flavor immensely.
