For the Oreo Crust:
- 6 TBS butter
- 2 cups Oreo crumbs
For the Chocolate Cheesecake Filling:
- 2 cups heavy cream (divided)
- 1 cup chopped dark chocolate
- 16 oz cream cheese (softened - 2 blocked)
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (thawed)
For the Oreo Crust:
Place a piece of parchment paper into the bottom of a 9inch springform pan. Spray the pan with nonstick spray.
Using a food processor, blend Oreos into a fine crumb.
Add the Oreo crumbs and melted butter into a medium sized bowl and stir them together until the crumbs stick together.
Pour the crumbs into the prepared pan and press down evenly to cover the bottom and slightly up the sides.
Put in refrigerator until firm, about 15 minutes.
For the Chocolate Cheesecake Filling:
Put 1/2 cup of the heavy cream into a small microwave safe bowl, and microwave for about 45 seconds to 1 minute, until hot, but watch it close so it doesn't boil over.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate in a medium bowl and let it sit for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir them together until smooth. If it wasn't hot enough to melt all the chocolate you can microwave in 15 second increments. Set aside until needed.
In a large bowl beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer for a couple of minutes until it is smooth.
Add in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract and melted chocolate and mix it together on low speed until combined.
In another bowl add the remaining heavy cream and whip it with a stand mixer, or hand mixer, until stiff peaks form.
Carefully fold the whipped cream into the chocolate cheesecake mixture until combined.
Spread the mixture into the prepared crust.
Cover it with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for 6 hours, or overnight.
Top with more whipped cream when serving, if desired.
