Ingredients
Oreo Crust:
24 Oreo cookies
1/4 cup melted butter
Chocolate Cheesecake:
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate, melted
4 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
1. Make the Crust:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
Crush Oreos in a food processor or place in a zip-top bag and roll over with a rolling pin.
Mix crumbs with melted butter and press firmly into the bottom of the springform pan. Set aside.
2. Cheesecake Filling:
In a bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth, then gradually blend in the dry ingredients.
Melt chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth. Slowly mix into the cream cheese mixture.
Add eggs one at a time, followed by sour cream and vanilla. Beat until creamy.
3. Bake the Cheesecake:
Pour the filling over the crust. Tap gently to release air bubbles.
Set the pan on a baking sheet with crumpled aluminum foil discs beneath it for elevation. Surround with ice to avoid cracking.
Bake for 1 hour on the center rack. Turn off the oven but leave the cheesecake inside for 5-6 hours to cool gradually without cracks.
4. Serve and Garnish:
Once cooled, refrigerate until ready to serve. Remove the springform ring and garnish as desired.
Top with whipped cream, chocolate ganache, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup—or serve with fresh berries for an elegant touch!
Pro Tip: Add a sprinkle of crushed Oreos or a dollop of whipped cream for extra flair!
This luxurious chocolate cheesecake with its iconic Oreo crust is guaranteed to impress everyone at the table!
