Ingredients
  

For the crust:

1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs (like Oreos, crushed)

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons sugar

For the cheesecake filling:

3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 large eggs

1 cup sour cream

½ cup cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)

6 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted and slightly cooled

6 oz white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled

¼ cup mini chocolate chips (for topping)

For the ganache:

1 cup heavy cream

8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust:

    - Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

      - In a medium bowl, mix together the chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined.

        - Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan (or mini cheesecake pans for individual servings). Bake for about 10 minutes until set. Remove from the oven and let cool.

          Make the cheesecake batter:

            - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.

              - Gradually add in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

                - Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated after each addition.

                  - Mix in the sour cream and cocoa powder until smooth.

                    Add melted chocolates:

                      - Divide the cheesecake batter into three equal parts.

                        - Stir the melted semi-sweet chocolate into one-third of the batter, mixing until fully incorporated.

                          - Do the same with the melted white chocolate for the second third of the batter, leaving the final third as is (this will create three layers).

                            Layer the batter:

                              - Pour half of the semi-sweet chocolate cheesecake batter onto the prepared crust and spread it evenly.

                                - Carefully add the plain cheesecake batter on top in dollops, then spread it evenly.

                                  - Finally, pour the remaining semi-sweet cheesecake batter on top, smoothing it out.

                                    - Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the top for an added touch.

                                      Bake:

                                        - Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.

                                          - Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool slowly for about an hour. This helps prevent cracks.

                                            Prepare the ganache:

                                              - In a small saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a simmer over medium heat.

                                                - Place the chopped semi-sweet chocolate in a bowl and pour the hot cream over it. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth.

                                                  Assemble the cheesecake:

                                                    - Once the cheesecake is fully cooled, pour the ganache over the top, spreading it evenly.

                                                      - Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

                                                        Serve:

                                                          - Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.

                                                            - Slice into pieces and serve chilled, garnished with extra mini chocolate chips or a sprinkle of cocoa powder if desired.
