Combine ingredients and blend. Grease sides of 9" - 10" (22.5 - 25 cm) springform pan. Press crumbs on bottom and up sides of pan to top. Reserve about three tablespoons (45mL) of crumbs for topping.
Preheat oven to 450 °F (230 °C). Beat cream cheese and vanilla together until fluffy. Gradually beat in sugar. Add eggs one at a time stirring until just blended. Stir in half and half. Gradually stir 3 cups (750 mL) of batter into cooled melted chocolate and blend. Pour plain batter into prepared pan. Gradually add chocolate mixture using zigzag motion. Batter will be very loose. Top with reserved crumbs. Bake 15 minutes to set batter. Reduce heat to 300 °F (150 °C) and bake 70 minutes longer. Remove from oven. Cool on rack one hour. Chill. Can be frozen. Serves 16.
