Instructions
Creating the indulgent Triple Chocolate Cheesecake with an Oreo Crust requires following these simple steps:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. Make the Crust:
– Crush the 24 Oreo cookies in a food processor until they reach fine crumbs.
– In a bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with the melted butter and mix until well combined.
– Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form an even layer.
3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
– In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
– Gradually add in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract while mixing until combined.
– Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
– Stir in the sour cream and cocoa powder until well incorporated.
– Mix in the melted semisweet and bittersweet chocolate until smooth.
4. Pour the Mixture:
– Carefully pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled Oreo crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
5. Bake the Cheesecake:
– Place the springform pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
6. Cool and Chill:
– Remove from the oven and let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for 1 hour.
– After cooling, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
7. Prepare the Ganache:
– In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just simmering. Pour it over the melted white chocolate in a bowl, letting it sit for 2-3 minutes.
– Stir until the ganache is smooth and glossy.
8. Finish the Cheesecake:
– Pour the ganache over the chilled cheesecake, gently spreading it until it covers the top completely.
– Optionally, sprinkle chocolate shavings or curls on top for garnish.
9. Serve:
– Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan and slice the cheesecake into wedges.
