Cheesecake with chocolate, very tasty

Place the cookies in a freezer bag and pat/crumble them into small pieces, e.g. with a rolling pin. Add the melted butter to the cookies and mix until smooth. Line a springform pan with baking paper, sprinkle the cookie crumbs on top and press them down firmly with a spoon. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Mix the cream cheese with the sour cream, vanilla seeds, sugar, and eggs. Finally, add the flour and mix again. Spread the still-runny cream over the cookie base and pour the melted chocolate over it. Carefully mix the chocolate into a pattern using a spatula (do not touch the base). Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 160 degrees Celsius (320 degrees Fahrenheit) on the middle rack for about 40-50 minutes. Once the cake is baked, turn off the oven and let it cool with the oven door closed, otherwise it will collapse due to the temperature difference. Once it’s completely cooled, refrigerate it for about 4 hours (preferably overnight). Tip: It’s best to place a piece of parchment paper at the bottom of the oven. This will keep the oven clean if any butter spills out of the baking pan.
