Method
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
- Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Step 4: Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just incorporated.
- Step 5: Stir in the sour cream until smooth.
- Step 6: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until fully melted. Allow to cool slightly, then fold into the cream cheese mixture.
- Step 7: Repeat the melting process with the milk chocolate chips, and fold them into the batter.
- Step 8: Finally, melt the white chocolate chips and fold them into the mixture until well combined.
- Step 9: Pour the chocolate cheesecake batter over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Step 10: Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Step 11: Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool gradually.
- Step 12: Remove from the oven and let cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
