🍫🍪 Dive into pure indulgence with this Decadent Chocolate Cheesecake on an Oreo crust! With its smooth, creamy chocolate filling and crunchy, sweet crust, it’s the ultimate dessert to satisfy your chocolate cravings! 😍✨
Ingredients:
24 Oreo cookies, crushed (for the crust)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for the crust)
3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted
1/4 cup heavy cream (for the ganache)
1/2 cup chocolate chips (for the ganache)
Instructions:
Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). In a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Combine the crumbs with melted butter and press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool. 🍪
Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract, and continue beating until fully combined. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. 🍫
Add melted chocolate: Stir in the melted semi-sweet chocolate until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. 🧁
Bake the cheesecake: Pour the chocolate cheesecake filling onto the cooled Oreo crust. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly wobbly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour, then transfer to the fridge to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. 🕔
Prepare the ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Pour it over the chocolate chips and stir until the ganache is smooth and glossy. 🍫
Top the cheesecake: Once the cheesecake is chilled, pour the ganache over the top and spread it evenly. Let it set for about 30 minutes before serving. 🍰
Serve and enjoy: Slice, serve, and enjoy every bite of this decadent dessert! 😋
