Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups Oreo cookie crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted (for ganache)
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (for ganache)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix the Oreo crumbs and melted butter until fully combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill the crust in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.
  3. Whip the heavy cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour the chocolate filling over the chilled Oreo crust and spread evenly. Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
  5. Prepare the ganache: Place the chopped semi-sweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat the 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream until it just simmers. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 5 minutes. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
  6. Pour the cooled ganache over the set cheesecake. Return the cheesecake to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to allow the ganache to set slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For a thicker, richer crust, use 3/4 cup of melted butter instead of 1/2 cup.
  • If you prefer a baked version, this recipe works well; bake at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes.
  • This recipe is an excellent choice for a quick chocolate dessert when you need to skip the oven.
