Ingredients:
- 1 package of chocolate cookie crumbs (approximately 2 cups)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 3 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup of sugar
- 1/4 cup of cocoa powder
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream

Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes. Cool completely on wire rack.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the cocoa powder and mix until combined. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla and mix until just combined. Pour the mixture into the cooled crust and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until cheesecake is set. Cool on wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
