Ingredients
2 1/2 cups Oreo cookies, crushed
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
24 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup heavy cream
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
1/2 cup chocolate chips (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Pulse Oreo cookies into fine crumbs, mix with melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix well. Add eggs one at a time, beating slowly. Mix in sour cream and vanilla until combined.
3. Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Bake for 55–65 minutes, until the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off oven, crack door open, and let it rest inside for 1 hour.
4. Let cheesecake cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
5. Heat heavy cream until simmering. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit 1 minute. Stir until smooth to make ganache.
6. Pour ganache over chilled cheesecake. Garnish with chocolate chips. Slice with a hot knife and serve.
Notes
Always let your cheesecake chill overnight for the best texture and flavor development.
For clean slices, use a knife dipped in hot water and wiped clean between cuts.
For a twist, try a Biscoff or graham cracker crust in place of Oreos.
