Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan. Mix chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until crumbly.
Press the mixture into the bottom of the springform pan to form an even crust.
Blend cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then mix in sour cream, eggs, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and milk until lump-free.
Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top.
Bake for 45-50 minutes until edges are set and center jiggles slightly.
Turn off the oven, crack the door, and cool for 1 hour. Then chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Add optional toppings before serving and enjoy!
