FIRST LAYER: Preheat oven to 325 º. Beat cheese and granulated sugar in large electric mixer bowl at medium speed until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla, then stir in chocolate and sour cream. Spoon over crust and set aside.

BAKE for one hour, DO NOT OPEN DOOR TO CHECK. Turn oven off after one hour but leave the door shut and the cheesecake inside for 30 minutes. Then open door and leave cheesecake in for an additional 30 minutes..This will slowly cool it off without cracking.
