- Prepare crust:
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Mix cookie crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined.
- Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool.
- Make filling:
- Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well.
- Mix in sour cream and vanilla.
- Stir in melted chocolate until fully blended.
- Bake cheesecake:
- Pour filling over cooled crust.
- Bake for 55–65 minutes, until edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
- Turn off oven, crack door slightly, and let cheesecake rest inside for 1 hour.
- Chill:
- Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Top it:
- Spread raspberry preserves over the chilled cheesecake.
- Arrange fresh raspberries on top.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings or drizzle if desired.
✨ Serving suggestion: Slice with a warm knife for clean cuts. This pairs beautifully with a cup of espresso or dessert wine.
