Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.
  2. Combine the crushed chocolate cookies with melted butter, stirring until well mixed, and press into the bottom of each muffin cup.
  3. Beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and cocoa powder until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition.
  5. Fold the chocolate chips into the cheesecake mixture using a spatula.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with the cheesecake batter.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until edges are set and centers jiggle slightly.
  8. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Heat the heavy cream until steaming, pour over chocolate chips, and stir until smooth to make ganache.
  10. Drizzle ganache over cooled cheesecakes and top with whipped cream.
