Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon red gel food coloring
  • 10 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup whipped cream, for topping
  • 6 Oreo cookies, crushed or halved for decorating

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Prepare the pan by greasing the springform pan, lining it with parchment paper, and wrapping the exterior with heavy-duty foil.
  3. Make the crust: Mix the finely crushed Oreo cookies with melted butter and press it into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
  4. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  5. Add the granulated sugar and mix until combined.
  6. Mix in the sour cream, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, flour, and red gel food coloring until smooth.
  7. Add the eggs one at a time on low speed.
  8. Fold in the roughly chopped Oreo cookies.
  9. Pour the batter over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  10. Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan and add hot water until halfway up the sides of the cheesecake pan.
  11. Bake for 65 to 75 minutes until the edges are set with a slight jiggle in the center.
  12. Cool by turning off the oven, cracking the door, and letting it sit for about an hour.
  13. Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
  14. Prepare the chocolate ganache by heating the heavy cream and pouring it over the chocolate chips.
  15. Drizzle the ganache over the chilled cheesecake and decorate with whipped cream and crushed Oreo cookies.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. Be patient during the cooling process to avoid cracks.
