Line an 8 or 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, and spray with nonstick spray. Set aside
In a medium bowl, stir the chocolate crumbs and melted butter together.
Press the mixture into the bottom of the springform pan to form a crust. Set aside.
Using an electric hand mixer and large bowl (or stand mixer), beat cream cheese, pudding mix, heavy cream, and sugar together on high speed until smooth
Pour cheesecake mixture over the graham crust, then use an offset spatula to smooth into an even layer.
Transfer strawberry cheesecake to the refrigerator to chill.

Microwave heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl (I used a glass measuring cup) on high power for 1 minute.
Add chocolate chips to the hot cream and let it sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
Pour ganache over the cheesecake and use an offset spatula to spread evenly over the top of the cheesecake.
If desired, add candy sprinkles over the ganache.
Refrigerate chocolate covered strawberry cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving.

If you're unable to find instant strawberry pudding mix, you can substitute with any flavor of instant pudding mix.
To cut clean slices, before cutting each slice, dip a sharp knife into a glass of warm water, then use a paper towel to wipe the water off.

Store leftover cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Because dairy products don't freeze well, I do not recommend freezing the chocolate strawberry cheesecake.
