Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs (such as Oreos)

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling:

24 oz (3 packages) cream cheese, softened

¾ cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 large eggs

10 oz dark chocolate, melted and slightly cooled

1 cup fresh raspberries

For the Topping:

½ cup sour cream

2 tablespoons sugar

1 cup fresh raspberries

Dark chocolate shavings (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool completely.

    Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract, followed by the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

      Add Chocolate: Carefully fold in the melted dark chocolate until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, taking care not to crush them.

        Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to cool gradually.

          Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and sugar together. Spread the mixture over the cooled cheesecake.

            Chill: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight to set completely.

              Serve: Once fully chilled, run a knife around the edges of the pan and carefully remove the springform. Top with fresh raspberries and dark chocolate shavings before slicing and serving.
