Death by chocolate cheesecake

Preheat oven to 180°C. Mix sandwich crumbs and melted butter and press into the bottom of 9 inch springform pan. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes and let cool. 

Beat the cream cheese with the sugar and cocoa powder until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time. Add the cooled down melted chocolate and mix until smooth. Pour the mixture over the crust and spread to get a flat surface. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes then remove from tin and refrigerate overnight.

Heat the cream and pour over a bowl with the chopped chocolate. Let sit for one minute and mix until smooth and glossy. Pour the ganache allowing it to run down the sides a bit. Top with chocolate shavings to decorate if desired.
