Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Mix together the chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well combined. Press into a 9x13-inch baking pan and bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Gradually mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed, then fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  3. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until edges are set. Remove and let cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
  4. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming. Pour over the chocolate chips and stir until smooth to make ganache.
  5. Spread the ganache over the cooled cheesecake layer. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing.
