Ingredients:
- 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 32 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add the sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the heavy cream and melted chocolate chips until fully incorporated.
Pour the chocolate cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
