Ingredients (view qty in metric system instead)
Crust: 9 ounce box chocolate wafer cookies, crushed 3 ounces chopped semisweet or bittersweet chocolate 3 tbsp. sugar 7 tbsp. melted butter
Filling: 12 ounces chopped semisweet or bittersweet chocolate 2 pounds cream cheese, softened 1 3/4 cups sugar 4 large eggs 1/4 cup heavy or whipping cream 1/2 cup cocoa powder, sifted 1 tbsp. vanilla extract 1 tsp. peppermint extract
Topping: 1 1/2 cups sour cream 1/4 cup sugar
Directions
For Crust: Combine cookies, chocolate and sugar in a food processor and finely grind. Add melted butter and process until evenly moistened. Wrap the outside of a 9 inch springform pan tightly with foil. Press the crust mixture evenly into bottom and halfway up sides of prepared pan. Refrigerate crust while preparing filling.
For Filling: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir until smooth. Cool to lukewarm. Beat together cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Add melted chocolate, cream, cocoa, vanilla and peppermint extracts. Beat until smooth. Pour over crust. Place springform in a large roasting pan and fill with enough hot water to come a third of the way up sides of springform. Bake about 60 minutes until center is set. Remove springform from water bath. Discard foil and refrigerate 1 hour.
For Topping: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Stir together sour cream and sugar in a small bowl until blended. Spread evenly over top of cheesecake and bake 5 minutes. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight. Remove pan sides and slice.
Serves 12.
