Set aside. Using a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and cocoa until combined. Beat in the vanilla until combined.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time until combined. Beat in the Red Gel Food coloring until combined. Scoop about 1 ½ tbsp of the cheesecake batter into the cupcake liners.
Bake in the oven for 20-22 minutes or until the top is firm. Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, place in the fridge overnight.
Using a medium pot, bring the heavy whipping cream to a simmer. For the chocolate chips into a medium bowl, for the heavy cream over the chocolate chips.
Let sit for 2 minutes and then mix until smooth and combined. Remove the cheesecakes from the fridge. Scoop 1 tbsp of the chocolate ganache on top of the cheesecakes and smooth evenly with a butter-knife. Sprinkle crushed candy canes on top. Enjoy!
