Ingredients :

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

24 Oreo cookies – finely crushed
1/4 cup unsalted butter – melted
2 lbs. cream cheese – room temperature
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
3 Tablespoon cocoa powder
4 eggs – room temperature
10 ounces bittersweet chocolate – chopped
3/4 cup heavy cream
6 oz. bittersweet chocolate – finely chopped
1 Tablespoon granulated sugar

Directions :

Follow these steps and watch the magic happen!

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), grease a 9-inch springform pan, and set it aside.
Finely crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor, add the melted butter, and blend until moistened.
Press the crumb mixture onto the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 6 minutes. Set aside to cool on a wire rack.
Melt 10 ounces of bittersweet chocolate and let it cool.
In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, then mix in the cocoa powder.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed. Don’t overbeat it!
Stir in the melted chocolate and mix on low until combined.
Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top.
Bake until the center is set and the top looks dry (about 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes).
Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then run a thin knife around the sides. Place the cake in the refrigerator (uncovered) for at least 8 hours, or better yet, overnight.
In a medium saucepan, stir together the cream, chocolate, and sugar over low heat until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth.
Cool and pour over the cheesecake.
Once set and cooled, run a thin knife around the sides and remove the springform pan.
This cheesecake does wonders if prepared 2-3 days in advance — just keep it covered in the refrigerator. Garnish with chocolate curls for flair (optional).
