| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a food processor or blender, crush the chocolate sandwich cookies until they form fine crumbs. |
| 2 | Transfer the cookie crumbs to a 9-inch springform pan. |
| 3 | Add melted butter to the crumbs and mix thoroughly. Press the mixture evenly over the bottom and about 1 inch up the sides of the pan. Set aside. |
| 4 | Using the food processor or blender, grind half of the chocolate chips until they reach a fine consistency. |
| 5 | In a separate bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the ground chocolate, sugar, and flour. Mix well. |
| 6 | Add the cream cheese, eggs, sweet marsala wine, sweet sherry, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Blend until smooth and creamy. |
| 7 | Scatter half of the remaining chocolate chips over the prepared crust. Pour the cheesecake batter into the pan, spreading it evenly. |
| 8 | Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top of the batter. |
| 9 | Bake the cheesecake in a preheated oven at 300Β°F (150Β°C) for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the cake jiggles slightly in the center when shaken. |
| 10 | Allow the cheesecake to cool, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 2 days to set. |
| 11 | Once chilled, remove the rim of the springform pan and serve the cheesecake to delight your guests. |
