1
Prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan. In a separate bowl, mix together crushed chocolate cookies and melted butter until crumbly. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
2
Make the cheesecake filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, eggs one at a time, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Slowly stir in cocoa powder and melted chocolate chips until fully incorporated.
3
Bake the cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
4
Cool and chill
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
