Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs (such as Oreos)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (for crust)
- 24 ounces (3 packages) cream cheese, softened

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and ¼ cup of granulated sugar. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar, mixing well after each addition.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream, blending until smooth. Fold in the cooled melted dark chocolate.

- Pour the chocolate filling over your prepared crust. Spoon strawberry puree on top and gently swirl with a knife.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
- Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Carefully remove from the springform pan, garnish, slice, and enjoy!
