Ingredients
  

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.
