Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups of chocolate cookie crumbs
- 1/4 cup of melted butter
- 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups of cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup of diced fresh strawberries
- 1/2 cup of chocolate ganache
- Whipped cream and additional strawberries for garnish
Instructions:
In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add the melted chocolate and mix until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gently fold in the diced strawberries. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set. Remove from the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake.
Cool the cheesecake completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, drizzle the chocolate ganache over the top of the cheesecake. Garnish with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.
