Crust:

Ingredients
24 chocolate icebox cookies or graham crackers, crushed
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions

In a bowl, combine cookie crumbs, butter, and cinnamon and press into an 8-inch springform pan. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Filling:

Ingredients
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
4 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened

With a rubber spatula fold in sour cream until thoroughly mixed. Pour into pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until cheesecake rises slightly on the sides. Cool at room temperature for 1 hour and then refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours.

Shouldn't you butter the springform pan before adding the crust or filling?

Hello, Denise. It is not necessary to butter the springform pan. The cheesecake will pull away from the sides as it cooks.
