Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.

2. Mix crushed cookies with melted butter and press into pan base. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.

3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, vanilla, eggs (one at a time), and sour cream. Mix until creamy.

4. Divide batter into two bowls. Stir melted bittersweet chocolate into one bowl to create the chocolate layer.

5. Pour chocolate layer over crust, then carefully spoon the vanilla layer over the chocolate.

6. Place springform pan on a baking sheet. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is just set.

7. Turn off oven and leave the door slightly open. Let cheesecake cool in oven for 1 hour.

8. Chill in fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight.

9. For ganache: heat heavy cream until just simmering. Pour over semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until smooth.

10. Pour ganache over chilled cheesecake. Garnish with extra chocolate chips. Chill again before serving.

Notes

For a neater slice, use a hot knife and wipe between cuts.

Always chill overnight for best texture and flavor melding.

To avoid cracking, don’t overmix the batter and cool slowly.
