Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix cookie crumbs with melted butter and press this mixture into the bottom and about an inch and a half up the sides of an eight-inch springform pan. Refrigerate.
- Puree the cheese in a blender or food processor until perfectly smooth.
- Beat eggs with sugar until thick and light. Stir in melted chocolate, the cheese and vanilla. Pour into prepared crust and bake about an hour, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Shut off oven and leave cake another 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool 30 minutes. Refrigerate at least two hours, then remove the sides of the pan, first running a knife around the edges. Dust with sifted cocoa before serving.
