1

Heat oven to 325°F. Line 9-inch square pan with foil, leaving 1 inch of foil overhanging at 2 opposite sides of pan; spray foil with cooking spray. In medium bowl, mix crushed cookies and butter. Press in bottom of pan. Bake 10 minutes or until set. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.

3

Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until center is set. Cool completely in pan on cooling rack, about 1 hour. Refrigerate 2 hours or until well chilled.
4

In small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate and whipping cream uncovered on High 30 seconds, then in 15-second increments, until chocolate can be stirred smooth. Drizzle over cheesecake. Use foil to lift cheesecake out of pan; cut into 5 rows by 5 rows.
