Ingredients

For the Oreo crust

2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the chocolate filling

16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup heavy cream
8 oz dark chocolate, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the chocolate ganache

4 oz dark chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Steps

Prepare the Oreo crust

In a mixing bowl, combine the Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form a crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes, then let it cool.

Make the chocolate filling

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the melted chocolate and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until incorporated.

Assemble the cheesecake

Pour the chocolate filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Prepare the ganache

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just boiling. Pour over the chopped dark chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth. Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring it over the cheesecake.

Serve

Once the ganache has set, slice the cheesecake into pieces and serve. Enjoy!

Storing Your Cheesecake

Proper storage is key to maintaining the quality of your Chocolade Oreo Cheesecake. After it has set, keep the cheesecake covered in the refrigerator if you plan to enjoy it over several days. It can last up to a week, retaining its rich flavor and creamy texture.

If you need to store it for a longer period, consider freezing it. Wrap pieces tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in an airtight container. When you're ready to enjoy, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight for the best results. This way, you can savor this delightful dessert even weeks after making it!

Pairing Suggestions

To enhance your cheesecake experience, consider pairing it with a side of fresh whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Adding a sprinkle of cocoa powder or crushed Oreos on top can also provide an extra touch of flair.

For beverage pairings, a rich cup of coffee or a glass of dessert wine like Port can complement the intense chocolate flavors beautifully. These additions not only elevate the overall experience but also allow your guests to enjoy the cheesecake to its fullest potential.
