Instructions

Make the Crust:
In a medium bowl, combine chocolate wafer crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until it resembles wet sand. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling. -
Prepare the Filling:
Beat softened cream cheese for 2-3 minutes until creamy. Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla until fluffy and well combined. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold into the cream cheese mixture until smooth. -
Assemble the Cheesecake:
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust. -
Make the Chocolate Swirl:
Microwave chocolate chips and butter in 20-second intervals, stirring until melted and glossy. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the filling, then use a skewer or knife to create marbled swirls. -
Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and a sprinkle of sea salt. Slice into 10 servings and enjoy!
