Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan or line with parchment paper.
Prepare crust: In a bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create the crust.
Make filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract, sour cream, flour, and pinch of salt.
Create chocolate swirl batter: Remove a small portion of the batter and stir in the cocoa powder to create the chocolate swirl batter.
Assemble and bake: Pour the plain batter over the crust. Dollop spoonfuls of chocolate batter on top and gently swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect. Bake for 45–50 minutes, until the center is just set.
Cool and serve: Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving.
