Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Combine all Crust ingredients and press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
3. Bake crust for 10-12 minutes. Let cool.
4. In a large bowl, beat all Filling ingredients until smooth and creamy.
5. Pour filling over cooled crust.
6. Bake in a water bath for 60-75 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly. (Wrap the bottom of the springform pan in foil to prevent water from seeping in).

8. Make the Ganache: Heat Heavy Cream and Butter in a saucepan until simmering. Pour over chopped Bittersweet Chocolate. Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth.
9. Pour Ganache over chilled cheesecake and spread evenly.
10. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow Ganache to set.
