Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a water bath by placing a large roasting pan filled with hot water on the bottom rack.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted unsalted butter until well blended. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  3. Beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Add eggs one at a time and mix in hot cocoa mix.
  4. Pour the filling over the crust and bake in the water bath for 50 to 60 minutes until edges are set.
  5. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let cool for about an hour. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  6. Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form, then fold in marshmallow fluff.
  7. Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and spread the marshmallow topping over the surface. Slice and serve.
