Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed chocolate cookies and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually fold in the melted dark chocolate and vanilla extract.
  4. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing slowly. Gently fold in the fresh raspberries.
  5. Pour the cheesecake mixture over your crust and smooth the top. Tap the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles.
  6. Bake for about 60 minutes. The center should be slightly jiggly when removed.
  7. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door cracked for at least 1 hour.
  8. Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for a minimum of 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
  9. When ready to serve, carefully unlatch the springform pan, slice, and optionally top with fresh raspberries or melted chocolate.
