Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing it with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine crushed chocolate cookies with melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press this mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
Cheesecake Filling
  1. Beat cream cheese and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually fold in melted dark chocolate and vanilla extract.
  2. Add eggs one at a time on low speed, mixing until just combined. Fold in fresh raspberries gently.
  3. Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust and smooth the top. Tap the pan on the countertop to release air bubbles.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly.
  2. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar to cool.
Chilling & Serving
  1. After an hour, let the cheesecake cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight.
  2. Unlatch the springform pan, slice, and consider garnishing with fresh raspberries and melted chocolate before serving.
