Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a 9×5 loaf pan by greasing it and lining it with parchment paper.
In a food processor, blend 8 chocolate sandwich cookies, 1.5 tbsp melted butter, and a pinch of kosher salt until crumbly. Press this mixture into the base of the loaf pan. Bake for 10 minutes until fragrant and slightly dry. Let it cool.
Melt 2 oz of semisweet chocolate using a microwave or double boiler. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a blender or food processor, combine 1 cup cottage cheese, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1 large egg, 3 tbsp granulated sugar, 2 tbsp cocoa powder, 1.5 tbsp cornstarch, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Add the cooled chocolate and blend until smooth.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled cookie crust. Bake for 35-40 minutes until set with a jiggly center. Allow it to cool for 30 minutes to an hour before removing from the pan. For best results, refrigerate overnight before enjoying.

Notes

For a richer flavor, let the cheesecake chill overnight before serving.
Ensure the chocolate is slightly cooled before mixing to maintain a smooth consistency.
You can substitute Greek yogurt with sour cream if desired.
