Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine crushed chocolate cookies with melted unsalted butter until fully incorporated. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 10" springform pan to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

  5. Prepare a water bath by placing the springform pan into a larger baking dish filled with water halfway up the sides. Bake at 320°F (160°C) for 75-85 minutes until the edges are firm and the center is slightly jiggly.
