Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Oreo crumbs
  • 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 24 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 8 oz melted chocolate bar
  • ½ cup heavy cream (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix together the Oreo crumbs and melted butter. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased baking dish.
  2. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Add melted chocolate, cocoa powder, heavy cream, and vanilla; mix until smooth.
  3. Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust and spread evenly.
  4. Bake for about 45 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  5. For the ganache topping, heat heavy cream until simmering, pour over chocolate chips, let sit for one minute, then stir until smooth. Pour over cooled cheesecake layer.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours before slicing into squares.
