How to Make Classic Chocolate Cheesecake From Scratch
Grease your springform pan and preheat the oven to 375°F. Make your crust by mixing the butter and cookie crumbs and pressing it into the pan. Bake the crust on a baking sheet for 15 minutes and let cool. Make the ganache by melting the cream and chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and sour cream until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla, and then the flour. Add the ganache mixture and beat slowly until combined. Pour the batter into the crust and get rid of any air bubbles by tapping the pan on the countertop a few times. Bake on a baking sheet for 50-60 minutes until the center is just barely done. Turn off the oven, but leave the cheesecake in the oven with the oven cracked open a bit to let it cool for 1 hour, then remove and set on a rack to finish cooling. Garnish with whipped cream and berries and serve.
