  2. In a mixing bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs with melted unsalted butter until well combined, then press firmly into the bottom of a springform pan.
  3. Beat room temperature cream cheese with granulated sugar using an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then blend in hot cocoa mix.
  4. Pour cheesecake filling over prepared crust and bake for 50-60 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.
  5. Turn off the oven and leave cheesecake inside for an hour to cool, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
  6. Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold in marshmallow fluff until light and fluffy.
  7. Spread marshmallow whipped cream over the top of the cheesecake and garnish with mini marshmallows and chocolate shavings if desired.
