Description
A rich and indulgent dessert combining velvety cheesecake with a crunchy Oreo crust, perfect for chocolate lovers.
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 (for topping)
- 6 oz. bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Blend the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor. Add the melted butter and mix until moist. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Freeze while preparing the filling.
- Melt the bittersweet chocolate and let it cool. Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Whip 2 cups of heavy cream until stiff peaks form and gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Divide into two portions, mixing the cooled chocolate into one half. Spread the chocolate layer over the crust first, then pour the plain cheesecake layer on top. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Heat heavy cream, chopped chocolate, and granulated sugar in a saucepan until smooth. Let it cool slightly, then pour it over the chilled cheesecake. Chill for 2-3 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
Let cream cheese soften for a smoother filling. Gently fold whipped cream to keep the mixture light and airy. Adjust sweetness to taste.
