Ingredients

2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (Oreo or Digestive)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
24 oz (680g) cream cheese (softened)
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup heavy cream
8 oz dark chocolate (melted)
4 oz milk chocolate (melted)
4 oz white chocolate (melted)
1/2 cup heavy cream (for ganache)
6 oz semi-sweet chocolate (chopped for ganache)

Directions

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Mix chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool.
Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla and eggs one at a time, mixing well. Mix in sour cream and heavy cream. Divide the batter into three equal parts. Mix dark chocolate into one part, milk chocolate into the second, and white chocolate into the third.
Pour the dark chocolate cheesecake mixture over the crust and smooth it out. Gently add the milk chocolate mixture on top, and finish with the white chocolate mixture. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly. Let cool, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours (or overnight).
Heat heavy cream until steaming (do not boil). Pour over chopped chocolate, let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth. Pour over the cheesecake and let set.
Garnish with chocolate curls, whipped cream, or berries. Slice and indulge in chocolate heaven!
