Oreo Chocolate Cheesecake

Ingredients

• For the crust

• 300 g Oreo cookies (about 24 cookies, filling included)
• 100 g melted butter
• For the cheesecake filling
• 600 g cream cheese (room temperature)
• 150 g granulated sugar
• 200 ml heavy whipping cream
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 120 g crushed Oreo cookies
• 100 g dark or milk chocolate, melted

• For the chocolate ganache topping

• 150 g milk chocolate
• 120 ml heavy cream
• For decoration
• 8–10 whole Oreo cookies
• Extra whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 160°C. Line the bottom of an 8-inch (20 cm) springform pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides.

Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press firmly into the base of the pan. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to set.

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the sugar and mix until well combined and lump-free.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Pour in the melted chocolate and mix until combined. Fold in the crushed Oreo pieces.

Pour the cheesecake batter over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Tap the pan gently to remove air bubbles.

Place the pan in a larger baking tray and add hot water halfway up the sides to create a water bath. Bake for 55–70 minutes until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.

Turn off the oven, leave the door slightly open, and allow the cheesecake to cool inside for 1 hour. Remove and let it cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.

To make the ganache, heat the cream until just steaming. Pour over the chopped chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth and glossy. Allow it to cool slightly, then pour over the chilled cheesecake.

Decorate with whipped cream swirls and whole Oreo cookies. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes before slicing.

This cheesecake is creamy, rich, and perfect for premium sales or events 🤎
