Mix the cookies with the butter in a bowl, then pour the mixture into the bottom of a previously greased cake pan with butter and paper, covering the pan completely; press down with a spoon to make it compact. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Soften the cream cheese with a whisk; once it has a smooth consistency, add the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, and beat for 5 minutes until you have a homogeneous mixture. Add the San Juan® Eggs one by one and mix for 5 minutes. Set aside. Mix the brown sugar with the cinnamon, flour, and butter in a bowl. Set aside. Pour the cheesecake mixture into the mold where you placed the cookie and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover with the sugar and cinnamon mixture and bake for 1 hour at 180 °C. Remove from the oven and refrigerate for one hour. Place the table chocolate in a bowl and pour the hot heavy cream over it, mix and add the dark chocolate, let cool for 20 minutes in the refrigerator, and with a hand mixer, beat until whipped for 2 minutes. Use a piping bag with a star tip to decorate the edge of the cheesecake with the chocolate cream and place the mini churros on top.
