Prepare the cheesecake base
In a mixing bowl add the cookie crumbs, butter, brown sugar and cinnamon and mix using your hands until you get a smooth, uniform, wet sand like mixture. Press the mixture onto the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a 10 inch spring-form pan. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Make the cheesecake chocolate filling
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese using an electric hand mixer until smooth. While mixing, start adding the 1 1/4 cups sugar, whipping cream, flour and vanilla essence. Add the eggs, one at a time and continue mixing until you have a smooth, uniform mixture.
Bake the cheesecake
Pour the cheese mixture into the prepared pan, spread evenly and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes. Remove cake from the oven and set aside until you prepare the sour cream topping.
In a large bowl, combine the sour cream with the sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla essence. Spread evenly on the cheesecake, return to the oven and continue baking for 7 more minutes. Turn the oven off and leave the cheesecake in the oven for 30 minutes more. Remove the cheesecake from the oven, place it on a wire tack and let it completely cool.
Make the chocolate ...
Combine the whipping cream and chocolate chips in a saucepan over low heat. Stir frequently until the chocolate melts. Add the vanilla essence and stir well to combine. Pour over the cheesecake making sure that it spreads evenly.
