Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1.5 cups 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 0.5 cups ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
For the filling
  • 24 ounces 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cups 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup 1 cup melted chocolate (semi-sweet or dark)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until everything is moistened—it should resemble wet sand.
  2. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and pop it in the fridge while you make the filling.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form and gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Pour in the melted chocolate and gently fold it into your mixture until fully combined.
Assembly
  1. Spread the filling evenly over your chilled crust and smooth the top.
  2. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 4–6 hours or overnight.
  3. Once set, release the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice it up, and serve.

Notes

Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. Consider adding layers of fruit or using different flavored cookies for the crust.
