Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine crushed chocolate cookies with melted butter until evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar on medium speed until smooth. Gradually add in the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined. Gently fold in sour cream, vanilla extract, and fresh raspberries.
- Pour the raspberry-infused filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 45-50 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for about an hour. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until steaming. Pour it over dark chocolate chips, let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth to make the ganache.
- Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Pour ganache over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides. Garnish with fresh raspberries, slice, and serve chilled.
