- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).

- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and cocoa powder, beating until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed and scraping the bowl after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, melted chocolate, and sour cream.
