- 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 8 ounces dark chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Preheat your oven to 325°F.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until well mixed.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Gradually add the sugar and continue mixing until well combined.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the melted dark chocolate until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in the raspberries and cornstarch.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
- Bake 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 to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of espresso powder to the cheesecake mixture.
- You can substitute the raspberries with strawberries or blueberries for a different fruit twist.
