# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan to ensure easy release.
02 -
Combine chocolate graham cracker crumbs and melted unsalted butter in a bowl. Mix thoroughly, then press the mixture evenly into the base of the prepared pan to form a compact crust.
03 -
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until completely smooth and creamy. Add sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until just combined. Gradually incorporate green gel food coloring until a vibrant hue is achieved, mixing gently to avoid overbeating.
04 -
Pour the green cheesecake batter over the prepared crust and level the surface with a spatula.
05 -
Place the pan on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. The edges should be set with the center slightly jiggly when gently shaken.
06 -
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours to set the filling fully.
07 -
Top the chilled cheesecake with gummy worms and assorted candy decorations to create a bubbling cauldron appearance. Slice and serve.
