🍫✨ Savor the Luxurious Delight: Dark Chocolate Cheesecake! 🍰✨

Ingredients:

• 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
• 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
• 24 ounces softened cream cheese
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup melted dark chocolate
• 1 cup sour cream
• Pinch of salt

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and generously grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. In a bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter, pressing the mixture into the pan to form a decadent crust.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until velvety smooth. Add sugar and cocoa powder, beating until a harmonious blend is achieved.
4. Add eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor.
5. Gently fold in melted dark chocolate, sour cream, and a pinch of salt, ensuring a silky-smooth batter.
6. Pour the luscious batter over the crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly for an irresistibly even texture.
7. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the center sets. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge to release the cheesecake. Allow it to cool completely before refrigerating for a minimum of 4 hours or, for the best results, overnight.
8. Once chilled, remove from the springform pan, slice, and indulge in this divine treat! 🎉

Enjoy this harmonious fusion of dark chocolate’s richness and the creamy allure of cheesecake. Ideal for elevating any occasion! 🍽✨
