Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups crushed Oreo cookies (about 24 cookies)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Mix the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter in a bowl until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill the crust in the freezer for 15 minutes while you prepare the filling.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until fully incorporated.
- Add the liquid ingredients: Beat in the vanilla extract and heavy cream until the mixture is light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Incorporate the chocolate: Gently fold in the melted and cooled unsweetened chocolate and the cocoa powder until the mixture is uniform in color and smooth. Do not overmix.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the chocolate filling over the chilled Oreo crust. Spread the top evenly with a spatula.
- Chill: Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the cheesecake is firm.
- Serve: Before serving, carefully release the sides of the springform pan. You can top this ultimate chocolate dessert with chocolate ganache or fresh berries if desired.
Notes
- For the creamiest texture, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature before mixing.
- If you want a triple chocolate cheesecake effect, reserve a small amount of the filling before adding the cocoa powder, sweeten it slightly differently, and swirl it into the main filling before chilling.
- This no bake chocolate cheesecake sets best when chilled for the full recommended time. Plan ahead for best results.
