A rich and creamy chocolate cheesecake featuring a decadent Oreo crust, perfect for celebrations or a delightful weekend treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 28 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
- 6 tbsp salted butter, melted
- 5.3 oz dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 1/4 cups cold heavy cream
- 18 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 8.8 oz dark chocolate, finely chopped (for ganache)
- 1 cup heavy cream (for ganache)
- Brownie bites (for decoration)
- Oreo cookies, quartered (for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare the Oreo crust: Line the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Mix the crushed Oreos with the melted butter until evenly coated. Press into the bottom of the pan. Refrigerate.
- Melt the chocolate: Place chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Make the chocolate cheesecake filling: Whip cold heavy cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and melted chocolate until smooth. Fold in whipped cream until combined.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Spread filling over the Oreo crust. Smooth the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Prepare the chocolate ganache: Microwave chopped chocolate and heavy cream in a bowl until melted. Stir until smooth and cool.
- Decorate: Pour ganache over the cheesecake and chill. Use remaining ganache to pipe swirls and top with brownie bites and quartered Oreos. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
