Chill Time

Total Time
- 6 hours 25 minutes
Servings
- 8–10 slices
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups heavy whipping cream, cold
- 8 oz (225g) semi-sweet chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
- 8 crushed Oreo cookies
For the Topping
- 1 cup whipped cream
- Chocolate shavings
- Mini Oreo cookies
- Cocoa powder (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Oreo Crust
Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and blend into fine crumbs. If you don’t have one, crush them in a zip-top bag using a rolling pin.
Mix the crumbs with the melted butter until evenly coated.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, using the back of a measuring cup to create an even layer.
Refrigerate the crust while preparing the filling.
Step 2: Prepare the Chocolate
Melt the chocolate using the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
Allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. It should still be pourable but not hot.
Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue beating until creamy.
Pour in the cooled melted chocolate and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Whip the Cream
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Fold slowly to keep the mixture light and airy.
Finally, fold in the crushed Oreo cookies.
Step 5: Assemble the Cheesecake
Spread the filling evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.
Smooth the top with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
Step 6: Decorate
Once fully chilled, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
Pipe whipped cream around the edges and decorate with chocolate shavings, mini Oreo cookies, and a light dusting of cocoa powder if desired.

Tips for the Perfect Cheesecake
- Always use room-temperature cream cheese for a silky smooth filling.
- Chill the cheesecake overnight for the best texture.
- Make sure the melted chocolate has cooled before mixing it into the cream cheese.
- Fold the whipped cream gently to keep the filling light and fluffy.
- For clean slices, dip a sharp knife in hot water and wipe it clean between each cut.
