In a medium bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers with the melted butter. Mix until the crumbs resemble wet sand.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to set.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the melted dark chocolate and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate cream cheese mixture until smooth and well combined.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight, to set completely.
Once the cheesecake is firm, carefully remove it from the springform pan.
Garnish with dark chocolate shavings if desired, slice, and serve chilled.
