Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 24 chocolate sandwich cookies, filling removed
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 32 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 12 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 8 oz semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup heavy cream, cold
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • Chocolate curls or shavings, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C), press the cookie crumb and butter mixture into a 9-inch springform pan, and bake for 10 minutes.
  2. Melt the semisweet chocolate until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Beat the cream cheese and sugar smooth, add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract.
  4. Fold in the melted chocolate and cocoa powder, pour the batter over the crust, and bake in a water bath at 325°F (163°C) for 55 to 65 minutes.
  5. Cool the cheesecake in the oven with the door cracked for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  6. Pour warm ganache over the chilled cheesecake, top with whipped cream and chocolate curls, then slice and serve.

Notes

Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, though overnight gives the cleanest slices and the best texture. If the ganache looks too thin to hold its shape, let it sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before pouring so it sets with a slight sheen instead of running off the sides.
