Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create a delicious crust.
  3. Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Step 4: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
  5. Step 5: Divide the cream cheese mixture into three equal portions.
  6. Step 6: Stir the melted semi-sweet chocolate into the first portion until fully combined. Pour this over the crust, spreading it evenly.
  7. Step 7: Stir the melted milk chocolate into the second portion and pour it over the semi-sweet layer, smoothing it out.
  8. Step 8: Stir the melted white chocolate into the third portion and pour it over the milk chocolate layer, making sure to smooth the top.
  9. Step 9: Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  10. Step 10: Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
  11. Step 11: Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
  12. Step 12: Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
