Equipment

Ingredients

Crust

28 Oreos
3 Tablespoons butter

Filling

24 ounces cream cheese three 8 oz. packages
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips melted
3 egg(s) large
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Ganache Topping

2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream

Chocolate Whipped Cream

2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350℉ and spray or grease your pan.
Process the Oreos in the food processor until they turn into crumbs. Add the butter and process for another 30-60 seconds.
Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Bake the crust for about 10 minutes.
While the crust is baking, make the filling by beating the cream cheese and sugar together.
Then add in heavy cream and sour cream and beat until smooth.
Melt the chocolate chips for the filling in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds, until smooth when stirred, then add the chocolate to the filling mixture and beat again.
Add in the eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth.
Bake cheesecake for about 55 minutes, or until it only jiggles an inch away from the edge.
Cool on the counter for 1 hour, then move to the fridge to cool.
Once you place the cheesecake in the fridge, make the ganache topping by melting the chocolate chips and heavy cream on the stove or in the microwave.
Remove the cake from the fridge and top the cake with the ganache then let cool in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Once the cheesecake has chilled, make the chocolate whipped cream. Whip the heavy cream with sugar and cocoa powder until thick peaks form.
Pipe the whipped cream on top of the cheesecake, slice, and serve.
