  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Make the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cocoa, and melted butter. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
  • Prepare the cheesecake: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sweetened condensed milk; beat well. Add eggs and vanilla and beat on medium speed until smooth.
