Ingredients

- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well blended.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cream cheese filling over the chilled crust, spreading it evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Serve: Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder, slice, and enjoy!
