Description
A creamy, layered chocolate cheesecake with a crunchy Oreo crust that’s perfect for any celebration.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1⁄2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 10 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 3⁄4 cup heavy cream
- 6 oz. bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- Finely crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor until they resemble crumbs. Add the melted butter and blend until evenly moistened. Press mixture onto the bottom of a lightly greased 9-inch springform pan. Place in the freezer.
- Melt 10 ounces of bittersweet chocolate and set aside to cool. Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip 2 cups of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add vanilla and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream until combined.
- Divide mixture into two equal portions; fold melted chocolate into one portion and pour over the Oreo crust.
- Spoon second half of mixture over the chocolate layer, spreading evenly.
- Chill cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
- Combine 3⁄4 cup heavy cream, chopped chocolate, and sugar in a saucepan. Stir over low heat until smooth. Cool slightly and pour over cheesecake.
- Run a knife around the edges and remove springform pan sides. Slice with a sharp knife. Optionally drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature cream cheese and let the cheesecake chill properly.
