Equipment

  • 1 9-inch springform pan
  • 2 mixing bowls
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • 1 set measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 double boiler (or microwave-safe bowl)
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 plastic wrap

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups chocolate wafer crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 4 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips, melted
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine chocolate wafer crumbs, melted butter, and sugar, and mix well. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
  • In another mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and continue to beat until well combined.
  • Add the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overbeat.
  • Divide the mixture in half. To one half, add the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips, and to the other half, add the melted white chocolate chips. Mix until combined.
  • Pour the semi-sweet chocolate mixture over the cooled crust, spreading evenly. Then pour the white chocolate mixture on top, spreading gently to avoid mixing.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) until fully chilled.
  • For the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a double boiler or microwave until just boiling. Remove from heat and add chopped semi-sweet chocolate, stirring until smooth.
  • Once the cheesecake is chilled, pour the ganache over the top, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate again for at least 30 minutes to set the ganache.
  • Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice it into 12 pieces.
