Original recipe yields 1 - 9 inch springform pan

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (140 degrees C). Using a fork, combine the melted butter and cookie crumbs. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan to form the crust.
In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar and eggs until blended. Pour half of the cream cheese mixture into the crust. Stir 2 ounces melted chocolate into remaining cream cheese mixture, then pour over the first layer.
Bake cheesecake on the center rack of preheated oven for 50 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan, then cut around edges with a knife to loosen cheesecake before removing pan sides.
In a medium bowl, combine 6 ounces melted chocolate and sour cream, stirring until blended. Spoon mixture on top of cooled cheesecake. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

"This was my first ever Chocolate Cheesecake, so I was convinced that nothing could top it. Since then I have eaten quite a few difference chocolate cheesecakes and been able to see a few problems with..." See more this first one. All in all, it is a great basic recipe for someone who is trying out a chocolate cheesecake for the first time because there is still some plain cheesecake left over of one doesn't like the chocolate. I probably could have gone without the chocolate coating, but I used it and had to use milk to make it easier to spread."
