Ingredients

Scale

For the Chocolate Cookie Crust:

  • 1 ¾ cups (about 200g) chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs (e.g., Oreos, finely crushed, with or without cream filling)
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 32 oz (4 blocks, 900g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ¼ cup (60ml) sour cream or full-fat Greek yogurt, at room temperature

For the Chocolate Swirl:

  • 4 oz (113g) good quality semi-sweet or dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

For the Chocolate Drizzle Topping:

  • ½ cup (85g) semi-sweet chocolate chips (or finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

    • For Garnish:

    • Small chocolate fudge brownie pieces, chocolate bark chunks, or thick chocolate shavings (as seen in the image)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust:

    Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly set. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

  2. Prepare the Chocolate Swirl Mixture:

    In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the finely chopped chocolate, heavy cream, and granulated sugar. Microwave on high in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Let cool slightly, but keep it warm enough to be pourable.

  3. Make the Cheesecake Filling:

    In a very large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, vanilla, and salt. Add eggs one at a time, then fold in sour cream.

  4. Assemble and Bake the Cheesecake:

    Prepare a water bath. Pour cheesecake filling over crust. Add chocolate swirl mixture and swirl gently. Bake, cool, and refrigerate.

  5. Make the Chocolate Drizzle Topping:

    In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave until smooth. Let cool until pourable.

  6. Decorate and Serve:

    Remove cheesecake from pan, top with chocolate drizzle, and garnish with brownie pieces or chocolate bark chunks. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure all dairy ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
  • Use a water bath to prevent cracks in the cheesecake.
  • Allow the cheesecake to chill thoroughly for optimal texture and flavor.
