  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 8 oz dark chocolate melted and cooled
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Ganache Topping

  • Rubber Spatula
  • Measuring Cups
  • Oven
  • Cooling Rack
  • Refrigerator
  • Freezer
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 325°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the base.
  2. Mix cookie crumbs with melted butter until evenly moistened. Press firmly into the pan base and slightly up the sides.
  3. Bake crust for 10 minutes. Cool while preparing the filling.
  4. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Scrape the bowl often for a velvety batter.
  5. Add eggs one at a time on low speed. Mix in sour cream, melted chocolate, cocoa powder, and vanilla just until combined.
  6. Pour filling over crust. Smooth the top and tap pan gently to release bubbles.
  7. Bake 45 to 55 minutes until edges are set and center jiggles slightly. Turn oven off and crack the door.
  8. Cool cheesecake in oven 1 hour, then chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Pour hot cream over chopped chocolate. Rest 2 minutes, stir glossy, then spread ganache over chilled cheesecake.
  10. Slice with a warm knife for clean edges and serve.

Notes

For a softer center, remove cheesecake when the middle still wobbles slightly. For firmer slices, bake a few extra minutes. Freeze whole or sliced cheesecake tightly wrapped for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator. If ganache feels loose, chill before spreading. Add espresso powder, orange zest, berries, or toasted nuts for flavor changes. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 5 days.
