Instructions:

1. Prepare the Acai Berry Base:
• In a medium bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, sugar, and Acai berry puree. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
• Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Cookies & Cream Filling:
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese
with the sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
• Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Fold in the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies until evenly distributed.
• Pour the filling over the prepared Acai berry base in the springform pan.
• Smooth the top with a spatula.
3. Bake and Cool:
• Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
• Bake the cheesecake for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
• Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional 30 minutes.
• Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
• Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set.
4. Prepare the Fudge Brownie Topping:
• In a small saucepan, combine the melted chocolate, heavy cream, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and hot water.
• Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth.
• Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
5. Finish and Serve:
• Remove the chilled cheesecake from the springform pan.
• Pour the fudge brownie topping over the cheesecake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
• Smooth the top with a spatula.
• Return the cheesecake to the refrigerator to set the fudge topping.
• Once set, slice and serve chilled.
