1/4 cup (57g/2 ounces) unsalted butter, melted

For the Ultimate Chocolate Cheesecake:
2 cups (340g/12 ounces) bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 and 1/2 pounds (680g/24 ounces) full-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup (198g/7 ounces) granulated sugar
1/4 cup (53g/1 and 7/8 ounces) light brown sugar, packed

Instructions
For the Crust:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Wrap the outside of the pan in layers of heavy duty aluminum foil. You’ll be placing this pan in a water bath, so be sure the pan has been wrapped from every angle.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chocolate wafer crumbs and melted butter. Pat the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Set the pan on a wire rack and cool the crust completely. Leave the oven on.
