Instructions
- Prepare the Pan and Preheat Oven: Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch or 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and wrap the outside with aluminum foil. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Make the Oreo Oatmeal Crust: Process Oreo cookies into crumbs, mix with oats and melted butter, press into the pan, and bake for 10 minutes, then cool.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Melt dark chocolate and cool. Beat cream cheese with sugars, then add eggs, yolks, and melted chocolate, mixing until combined. Pour over the cooled crust.
- Bake the Cheesecake: Place the cheesecake in a water bath and bake for 1 hour. Turn off the oven, let it cool for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Make the Mirror Glaze: Simmer water, sugar, heavy cream, and cocoa powder for 10 minutes. Bloom gelatin in cold water, then combine with cooled chocolate mixture.
- Glaze the Cheesecake: Remove cheesecake from the pan and pour the glaze over it. Chill for at least 1 hour.

Notes
Ensure that the cream cheese is room temperature for a smoother filling. You can use graham crackers instead of Oreos for a different flavor.
