Ingredients:

• For the Oreo Magic Crust:

• 24 Oreo cookies, crushed into oblivion (food processor recommended)
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

• For the Dreamy Triple Chocolate Filling:

• 24 ounces cream cheese, softened to velvety perfection
• 1 cup granulated sugar, for sweetness
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, for a touch of magic
• 3 large eggs
• ½ cup sour cream, for a touch of tang

• The Triple Chocolate Trio:

• 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted until smooth
• 4 ounces milk chocolate, melted until smooth
• 4 ounces white chocolate, melted until smooth

• For the Chocolate Ganache Heaven:

• ½ cup heavy cream
• 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
• 4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
• Optional Garnish (go all out!):
• Chocolate shavings, for extra decadence

Instructions:

Craft the Oreo Magic: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pulverize the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor. Alternatively, unleash your inner baker and crush them in a ziplock bag with a rolling pin.

In a separate bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the melted butter and mix well. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased springform pan. Bake this magical base for 8 minutes, then let it cool completely.

Whip Up the Dreamy Filling: Using a large bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese and sugar until it's smooth and delightful. Beat in the vanilla extract for an extra flavor boost. Add the eggs one at a time, making sure each one is fully incorporated before adding the next.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream. Gradually add it to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until just combined.

Melty Chocolate Time! In three separate bowls, melt the semi-sweet chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate. Let them cool slightly.

Gently fold the melted semi-sweet chocolate into the cheesecake batter. Once incorporated, repeat the process with the milk chocolate and lastly the white chocolate. Remember, a gentle touch is key to avoid overworking the batter.

Pour the dreamy cheesecake filling over the cooled Oreo crust.

Bake to Perfection: Place the springform pan on a baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the center is slightly set but still has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for another hour to prevent cracks.

Once the hour is up, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Then, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, for the best flavor and texture.

Create the Chocolate Ganache Heaven: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it simmers. Remove from heat and add the chopped semi-sweet and milk chocolate. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy – this is your ganache heaven!

Pour the ganache over the chilled cheesecake and spread it evenly to the edges. Refrigerate for another hour for the ganache to set.

Serve and Devour! Before serving your Triple Chocolate Cheesecake with Oreo Magic, garnish it with chocolate shavings for an extra touch of decadence. Prepare to be amazed!
