Ingredients
Crust

- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
Filling
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs

Instructions
Preparation of Crust
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until it resembles a sandy texture.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing fully before adding the next.
- Gradually blend in the melted semi-sweet, milk chocolate, and white chocolate. Mix until uniform.
- Pour the filling over your prepared crust, smoothing the top.
Bake & Chill
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is slightly set but still jiggles.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for about an hour.
- After cooling, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Serve It Up
- When ready, whip cream to top the cheesecake.
- Sprinkle with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for decoration.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
If your cheesecake has a tiny crack, don’t worry; it’s a reminder that good things aren’t always perfect. Add zest of orange for a citrusy twist or use pre-made crusts to save time.
