Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl, mix together the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the sugar and cocoa powder, mixing well after each addition. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust and smooth it out with a spatula. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
