Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350.
Spray 9 cavities of a muffin tin well.
Fill the empty muffin cups 1/3 full with water to ensure even baking.
Crust:
Crush the cookies and stir in melted butter until completely mixed.
Divide evenly among the muffin cavities and press down.
Bake for 3 minutes and set aside to cool.
Filling:
Combine the sugar and cream cheese in a medium bowl.
Using a mixer, beat until smooth and creamy.
Add the sour cream, vanilla, cocoa and food coloring.
Beat until combined.
Add in the egg and mix until just combined.
Divide evenly into the 9 cups.
Bake for 20-22 minutes until the centers still jiggle a little bit and the edges are very lightly brown. Let cool. Chill for at least 2 hours.
Ganache:
Combine ganache ingredients and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir, and return to microwave for another 20-25 seconds until completely melted.
Spoon ganache over each cheesecake.
With your hands, break up each cookie into large chunks.
Place cookies on top of cheesecake.
Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
