Cooking steps

1. Melt the butter in a water bath. Crush the cookies into crumbs (in a blender or with a masher). Combine the butter with the cookies, mix the mass, and place it in a springform pan (20-22 cm in diameter). Spread it evenly on the bottom, press it down, and put the pan in a preheated oven at 170 degrees. After ten minutes, take it out and let the base cool.

   Required ingredients:

   • Butter: 150 g
   • Chocolate chip cookies: 250 g

2. Chocolate cheesecake filling. Whip cream cheese with sugar into a creamy mass. Use a whisk; if you whip the cream with a mixer, the cheesecake may sink during baking. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each. Add sour cream. Melt the chocolate in a water bath and add it to the filling last. Spread the resulting cream on the base, smooth it out, and place it in the oven at 160 degrees.

   Required ingredients:

   • Cream cheese: 900 g
   • Sugar: 250 g
   • Chicken egg: 4 pieces
   • Sour cream 20%: 200 g
   • Dark chocolate: 300 g

3. Bake for an hour, remembering to place a container of water in the oven. To check if the cheesecake is done, tap the edge of the pan with a spoon; only the center should jiggle — this is a sure sign of readiness. Leave the finished cheesecake in the oven to cool slowly. After an hour, take it out and cool it at room temperature, then refrigerate for about five hours.

4. For the glaze, heat the cream almost to boiling, add pieces of chocolate, stir, and spread over the cheesecake. Put it back in the fridge for half an hour. Once the glaze sets, serve the cheesecake and enjoy the wonderful taste.
