Ingredients

  • 200 g (about 2 cups) chocolate biscuits or Oreo cookies, finely crushed
  • 80 g (6 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
  • 500 g (about 2 cups) cream cheese, softened
  • 200 g (1 cup) granulated sugar
  • 200 g (7 oz) dark chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
  • 200 ml (3/4 cup) heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or cocoa powder for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F). Line bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment and grease sides.
  2. Combine crushed biscuits with melted butter until evenly coated. Press into pan base and refrigerate 10 minutes.
  3. Beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla.
  4. Fold in melted dark chocolate until fully incorporated. Add heavy cream and mix until smooth.
  5. Pour filling over chilled crust, smoothing top. Bake 45–50 minutes, until center is set but slightly wobbly.
  6. Turn off oven, leave cheesecake inside with door ajar for 1 hour to cool gradually.
  7. Remove and cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  8. Before serving, decorate with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or cocoa powder if desired.

Notes

  • Use good-quality dark chocolate (60–70% cocoa) for best flavor.
  • Do not overmix batter to avoid cracks.
  • Cooling in oven with door ajar prevents sudden temperature change.
  • Cheesecake tastes best after chilling overnight.
