Beat together cream cheese and 1 cup sugar in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Blend in eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition until just incorporated. Gradually pour in melted chocolate, beating on low speed until well blended. Add 1/2 cup sour cream, flour, and vanilla. Blend until smooth, then pour into crust. Bake in the preheated oven until center is set and filling is firm, 55 to 60 minutes. Turn the oven off. Cool cheesecake in the oven for 1 hour without opening the door. Remove cheesecake to the counter and cool completely at room temperature. Transfer cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for several hours to overnight. Stir together 1/2 cup sour cream and 1 tablespoon sugar in a small bowl until well combined. Spread over chilled cheesecake before serving. I Made It Print 206 home cooks made it!
