Ingredients
Crust:
- 2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs
- 6 Tablespoons butter- melted
Cheesecake Layer:
- 4 8 oz packages cream cheese- softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Chocolate Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- Chocolate sauce
Instructions
Crust:
- Prepare a 9” springform pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
- In a food processor, pulse Oreo cookies until you get 2 cups of crumbs. Add in butter and pulse until combined.
- Pour into the bottom of the springform pan and using the back of a spoon, gently press the crumbs to form the crust. Be sure to bring the crumbs about 1 inch up the side.
- Place in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
Cheesecake Filling:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer equipped with a paddle attachment (or using an electric hand mixer) cream the cream cheese for 2-3 minutes or until smooth and there are no lumps remaining. Mix in the powdered sugar one cup at a time fully combining after each addition.
- Add vanilla extract and mix until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, add heavy whipping cream and whisk on high speed until stiff peaks form and the cream starts to clump in the whisk.
- Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined and smooth.
- Fold in chocolate chips last.
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust and refrigerate for at least 6 hours but best overnight.
- When you are ready to serve, run a butter knife under hot water and run around the edges of cheesecake to release it from the pan.
Whipped Cream:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer equipped with a whisk attachment add the heavy cream and start mixing on low speed.
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and cocoa powder and mix on low until combined then slowly increase the speed to high until stiff peaks form.
- Add the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a large start tip.
- Drizzle the cheesecake with chocolate sauce and pipe a ring of whipped cream around the sides of the cake and serve.
- ENJOY!
