Instructions
- 1
Prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.

Make the cheesecake filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the sugar and mix until combined. Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, fold in the melted chocolate until fully incorporated.

Bake the cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to cool gradually.
