Equipment

  • 1 9-inch springform pan
  • 1 mixing bowls
  • 1 electric mixer or whisk
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 rubber or offset spatula
  • 1 cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 packages (8-ounce each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 6 oz dark chocolate, melted
  • 6 oz milk chocolate, melted
  • 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine chocolate graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined.
  • Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
  • In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until creamy, then mix in vanilla extract.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated after each addition. Avoid overmixing.
  • Fold in the sour cream, melted dark chocolate, and melted milk chocolate until the mixture is smooth.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling into the cooled crust, smoothing the top. Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is just set and slightly jiggly.
  • Turn off the oven and crack the oven door, allowing the cheesecake to cool for about 1 hour in the oven to prevent cracking.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • For the ganache topping, in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, heat the chopped semi-sweet chocolate and heavy cream until melted and smooth. Stir well.
  • Once the cheesecake has chilled, pour the ganache over the top, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate again until set, about 30 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan and slice the cheesecake into portions. Serve and enjoy!
