Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 20 cookies)
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips melted and cooled
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water

Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Medium and large mixing bowls
  • Saucepan
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Combine chocolate cookie crumbs and sugar in a medium bowl, then stir in melted butter until mixed like wet sand; press into the pan and set in the fridge.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well; mix in sour cream, vanilla, and fold in melted chocolate gently.
  4. Pour filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top, and bake for 45-50 minutes until edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
  5. Cook topping by combining strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and water in a saucepan; cook on medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes, then cool.
  6. Let the cheesecake cool on a wire rack for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Release the springform pan, spread the strawberry topping over the cheesecake, and slice to serve.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free chocolate cookies. You can substitute sour cream with plain Greek yogurt for a lighter version. Leftovers can be covered and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze tightly wrapped for up to 2 months. When serving, use a knife dipped in hot water for cleaner slices. Enjoy the cheesecake chilled for the best flavor and texture!
