Ingredients
  

Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers or chocolate cookies for a richer taste
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
Cheesecake Filling:
  • 24 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
Chocolate Topping:
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Strawberry Layer:
  • 1 lb fresh strawberries sliced
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam optional, for shine

Method
 

    1. Build the BaseSet your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a bowl, mix the crushed crackers with sugar, then stir in melted butter until everything is evenly coated.
    Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create a solid crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool.
    2. Make the FillingIn a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until silky smooth. Add vanilla and mix again.
    Crack in the eggs one at a time, blending after each addition. Then mix in sour cream and heavy cream until fully combined.
    Pour this mixture over the cooled crust.
    3. Bake the CheesecakePlace the pan in the oven and bake for about 55–60 minutes. The edges should look set, while the center still has a slight wobble.
    Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour to cool slowly (this helps prevent cracks).
    Remove, cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
    4. Prepare the GanacheWarm the heavy cream in a saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Pour it over the chocolate chips and let sit briefly, then stir until smooth and glossy.
    Allow it to cool slightly, then spread over the chilled cheesecake. Return to the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up.
    5. Add the StrawberriesArrange the sliced strawberries on top in any pattern you like. For a shiny finish, lightly brush them with warmed jam.
    6. ServeKeep chilled until ready to serve. Slice and enjoy every rich, creamy bite!
