Instructions

Step 1 – Make the Crust

1. Crush the cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.

2. Mix with melted butter until combined.

3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan.

4. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

Step 2 – Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

5. Pour the mixture over the prepared crust.

Step 3 – Bake

1. Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F).

2. Place the springform pan on a baking tray and bake for 50–60 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is slightly wobbly.

3. Turn off the oven, leave the door slightly open, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour to avoid cracks.

4. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight).

Step 4 – Chocolate Ganache
