If you don’t have a food processor, you can substitute with a high-powered blender, or use an electric stand mixer or hand mixer instead.
I recommend using chocolate with a cocoa content between 55% and 70% for the best flavor and texture.
Be sure not to skip the chilling phase! If you slice into the cheesecake before it has chilled properly, it will have a consistency more like a lava cake.
This cheesecake can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days, but it keeps best without any toppings (other than the ganache).
