Ingredients

Crust:

• 2 cups (200g) Oreo crumbs (about 24 cookies)
• 5 tablespoons (70g) unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling:

• 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks
• 1 cup (125g) powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup (150g) semi-sweet chocolate, melted and cooled
• 1 cup (100g) crushed Oreos

Topping:

• ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
• ½ cup (100g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
• Additional whipped cream, Oreos, and chocolate curls for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

1. Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin.
2. Combine the crumbs with melted butter in a mixing bowl.
3. Press the mixture firmly into the base of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Step 2: Make the Filling

1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
2. Mix in the melted chocolate and vanilla extract.
3. Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated.
4. Add the crushed Oreos and stir gently to distribute them throughout the filling.

Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecake

1. Spoon the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the surface using a spatula.
2. Cover and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours, or overnight, to set.

Step 4: Add the Ganache

1. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer.
2. Remove from heat and pour over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
3. Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring it over the chilled cheesecake. Spread evenly.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

1. Decorate the cheesecake with whipped cream, Oreo halves, and chocolate curls.
2. Slice and serve chilled.

Why This Recipe Stands Out

• No-Bake Convenience: Perfect for warm weather or when you don’t want to use the oven.
• Rich Flavors: A combination of cream cheese, chocolate, and Oreos that melts in your mouth.
• Eye-Catching Presentation: With elegant garnishes, this cheesecake looks as good as it tastes.

Tips for Success

• Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure the cream cheese is softened for a smoother filling.
• Chill Time: Don’t rush the setting process; a well-chilled cheesecake holds its shape better.
• Custom Garnishes: Add crushed peppermint candies or caramel drizzle for a unique twist.

Storage Instructions
