Ingredients:

Serving

crust
1 1/4 cups graham crackers, crushed
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
cheesecake
5 (8-oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
3 tbsp flour
5 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup sour cream
raspberry ganache
10 oz milk chocolate
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup raspberry jam

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Crust:
Wrap the outside of a 9-inch springform pan with 2 layers of foil.
In a food processor, combine the graham crackers, sugar, cocoa powder and salt; process until the mixture is all fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse until well mixed.
Pour crumb mixture into the bottom of pan and press into a smooth layer.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until just firm. Remove from oven and let cool.
Cheesecake:
In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla until light and creamy. Add the flour, then the eggs 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the sour cream, mix until smooth.
Pour the mixture over the crust in the springform pan. Place the cheesecake in a large roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
Bake for 1 1/2 hours.
Transfer cake to a cooling rack and let cool for 30 minutes. Refrigerate and let chill while preparing ganache.
Raspberry Ganache:
Using a food processor, pulse chocolate into small bits. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, bring heavy cream to a boil over medium heat. Pour over chocolate and add raspberry jam. Mix until smooth. Ganache will be about as thick as frosting. If it is too thick, thin with a little cream or milk.
Pour ganache over cheesecake and spread out evenly. Return cheesecake to fridge and chill until ganache has firmed.
