Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

For the crust:

• - 24 Oreo cookies;
• - 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted.

For the chocolate cream cheese filling:

• - 2 cups chocolate chips;
• - ½ cup milk;
• - 24 oz cream cheese room temperature;
• - 1 cup granulated sugar;
• - 3 tbsp all-purpose flour;
• - 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract;
• - pinch of salt;
• - 4 large eggs room temperature.

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 375F.
• In a food processor, pulse Oreo sandwich cookies until crumbled. The mixture should be sandy. Then, pour in the melted butter and pulse until combined well
• Grease a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray or butter. Transfer the crumbs mixture into it and press it firmly to the bottom of the prepared pan using the back of a spoon or the back of a measuring cup.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes. Then, let the crust cool while preparing the filling. Reduce the heat to 350F.
• In a small saucepan, mix together the chocolate chips and milk over low heat until melted, stirring constantly. Set aside.
• Combine the cream cheese, flour, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer at a low speed. Beat until smooth.
• Add 4 eggs, one at a time. Beat after each addition until combined.
• Pour in the melted chocolate mixture. Beat on a low speed until smooth and completely mixed. Pour the chocolate cream cheese filling into the crust. Spread evenly. Bake for 40-50 minutes. The cheesecake should jiggle in the middle when done and the toothpick inserted closer to the edges should come out clean. Turn off the oven.
• Leave the cheesecake in the oven for 1 hour. Keep the oven door ajar. Then, transfer to the counter and let the cheesecake cool to room temperature. Refrigerate before serving.
• Slice and serve with whipped cream.
