Ingredients
Scale
- 24 whole Oreo cookies, divided
- 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 4 ounces (115g) dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream, heated
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Oreo crust: Crush 18 Oreos finely using a food processor or by sealing in a bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Mix crumbs with melted butter and press firmly into the base of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the fridge.
- Make the cream cheese filling: Beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and salt. Whip cold heavy cream to stiff peaks and fold gently into the cream cheese mixture. Chop remaining 6 Oreos and fold into filling.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Spoon filling over crust, smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Prepare the chocolate ganache: Heat heavy cream until simmering, pour over dark chocolate chips, let sit 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Stir in butter if using.
- Top and serve: Pour ganache over chilled cheesecake, let set 10-15 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for a firmer finish. Release from pan, slice with a hot knife, and serve chilled.
Notes
Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Fold whipped cream gently to keep texture fluffy. Press crust firmly to avoid crumbling. Chill cheesecake at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Use a hot knife for clean slicing. Ganache can be gently reheated if it thickens before spreading.
