Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup chocolate chips, melted
- 1 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add 1 cup of sugar and continue mixing until well incorporated.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly. Then add the eggs one at a time, making sure to blend well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Gently fold in the sour cream and melted chocolate chips until fully combined.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour to cool gradually. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, drizzle the top with caramel sauce for an extra touch of sweetness.
