Method
 

Prepare the Crust:

  2. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan, smoothing it out evenly.
  3. Pour the melted dark chocolate over the crust, spreading evenly. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  3. Stir in vanilla extract, sour cream, and heavy cream until the batter is creamy and thick.
3. Assemble the Layers:
  1. Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  2. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
4. Prepare the Ganache Topping:
  1. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it begins to simmer (do not boil).
  2. Pour the hot cream over the dark chocolate chips in a bowl. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth.
5. Add Ganache and Finish:
  1. Pour the ganache over the chilled cheesecake, spreading evenly with a spatula.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set the ganache.
  3. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
