Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 20 Oreo cookies
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • pinch of salt

For the Chocolate Ganache

  • 8 oz. bittersweet chocolate
  • 1 cup cream

For the Filling

  • 4 8 oz. pkgs cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 6 eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 16 Oreo cookies crushed

For the Topping

  • 5 Oreos crushed
  • Whipped cream for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • In a food processor, add Oreos and pulse until ground into fine crumbs. Pour in the melted butter and a pinch of salt with the machine running. Scrape down the sides and pulse a few more times. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  • For the chocolate ganache: Over a double boiler (see note below), heat the cream and pour the chocolate into the cream and let sit for 1 minute. Stir until the chocolate has completely melted and fully incorporated.
  • Pour the chocolate over the cookie crust and spread to the edges. Place in freezer while you mix the cheesecake ingredients.
  • In the large bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping the bowl between eggs. Add the vanilla to the mixture and beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Gently stir the crushed Oreos into the cheesecake batter.
  • Pour the Oreo cheesecake filling over the frozen crust with ganache, using a rubber spatula to scrape the bowl. Place the cheesecake on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreos over the top.
  • In a preheated oven, place the pan on the middle rack and bake for 60-70 minutes, until the top is lightly browned and the middle is just a little jiggly. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow to cool for 30 to 40 minutes. Chill in refrigerator until completely cool. Cut and serve with whipped cream.

Notes

See the recipe post for how to make a double boiler if you don't have one for the chocolate ganache. Or you can use your microwave and melt the cream and chocolate together for about 10 seconds, stir, then 10 more seconds and repeat until the chocolate and cream are completely melted and smooth.
