Ingredients

• 2 cups Chocolate cookie crumbs
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips (for topping, optional)
• 1 cup Whipped cream (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the cookie crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan to create an even crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.

Step 4

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the sour cream and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and beat until well combined.

Step 6

Mix in the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring that the chocolate is fully incorporated.

Step 7

Add the eggs one at a time to the cheesecake batter, beating just until each egg is incorporated. Do not overmix.

Step 8

Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.

Step 10

Turn off the oven and crack the door slightly. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Step 11

Once the cheesecake is fully chilled, remove it from the springform pan and top with additional chocolate chips and whipped cream, if desired.

Step 12

Slice and serve your easy double chocolate cheesecake. Enjoy!
