Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) chocolate cookie crumbs
  • ¼ cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 8 oz (225g) bittersweet chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 6 oz (170g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until evenly mixed. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for 8 minutes, then let cool completely.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the melted chocolate, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until fully incorporated.
  3. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is just set. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
  4. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate with the heavy cream and butter in a double boiler or microwave. Stir until smooth and glossy.
  5. Spread the fudge topping evenly over the cooled cheesecake. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set.
  6. Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice into wedges. Serve cold for the best texture.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smooth batter. Avoid overmixing to prevent cracks. Refrigerate overnight for enhanced flavor and texture.
