Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).

In a bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan to form the crust.

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the melted chocolate.

Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is slightly golden.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
-
Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake, then remove the sides of the pan.
