Vanilla Wafer Base

• 2 cups Vanilla Wafer crumbs
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Cream Cheese Filling

• 3 containers of 8oz Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs, room temperature

Cheesecake Truffle Topping

• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Mix the vanilla wafer crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until it's smooth. Add the sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs and beat the mixture until it's creamy.
4. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the pan. Bake for about 40 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned and the center is almost set.
5. While the cheesecake is baking, prepare the cheesecake truffle topping. In a small pan, heat up the heavy cream and the butter just until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips. Whisk in the powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and shiny.
6. When the cheesecake is done, let it cool for a few minutes and then spread the cheesecake truffle topping over the cheesecake. Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least two hours before serving.
7. Enjoy!
