¼ cup packed brown sugar

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 pounds cream cheese, softened

1½ cups white sugar, divided

⅓ cup heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided

4 large eggs

1½ cups chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs

16 ounces sour cream

Chocolate Topping:

1½ cups semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-inch springform pan.

  • Make Crust: Combine chocolate cookie crumbs, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon. Press into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of the pan. Bake for 5 minutes and cool.

  • Prepare Cheesecake Filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1¼ cups sugar, heavy cream, flour, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in cookie crumbs.

  • Assemble: Pour one-third of the batter into the crust, sprinkle with additional cookie pieces, then add the remaining batter.

  • Bake: Bake for 45 minutes, remove from oven.

  • Sour Cream Layer: Mix sour cream, remaining ¼ cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Spread over cheesecake and bake for an additional 7 minutes.

  • Cool: Turn off oven, let cheesecake cool for 30 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack.

  • Make Chocolate Topping: Melt chocolate chips and heavy cream over low heat until smooth. Stir in vanilla.

  • Finish: Pour chocolate topping over cooled cheesecake. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.

Notes

  • Allow cheesecake to chill overnight for the best texture.

  • Use a water bath to avoid cracks.

  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
