Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Crush the chocolate cookies and combine with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add cocoa powder and mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in sour cream and vanilla extract.
-
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan. Bake for 60 minutes or until the center is set.
-
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake. Allow it to cool completely.

In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream until it begins to steam. Remove from heat and add chopped semi-sweet chocolate. Stir until smooth and pour over the cooled cheesecake.

Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 2 hours or until the chocolate ganache is set.
