1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 large eggs

8 oz Godiva chocolate, melted and cooled

1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions
 

Make the Crust:

    - Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

      - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

        - Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

          Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

            - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.

              - Add the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.

                - Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

                  - Stir in the melted and cooled Godiva chocolate until fully incorporated.

                    - Finally, blend in the sour cream and heavy whipping cream until smooth.

                      Bake the Cheesecake:

                        - Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.

                          - Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.

                            - Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.

                              Make the Ganache:

                                - In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the chopped Godiva chocolate and heavy cream. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.

                                  - Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before pouring over the cooled cheesecake.

                                    Final Assembly:

                                      - Once the cheesecake has cooled to room temperature, pour the ganache evenly over the top. Spread it smoothly with a spatula.

                                        - Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to set properly.

                                          Serve:

                                            - Before serving, garnish the top with chocolate shavings or curls and generous dollops of whipped cream.

                                              - Carefully slice and serve chilled, savoring each decadent bite!
