Ingredients

• 24 pieces Oreo cookies
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 24 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 8 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 cup Whipping cream
• 6 pieces Extra Oreo cookies, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and wrap the outside with aluminum foil to prevent water from seeping in during the water bath.

Step 2

Crush 24 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a zip-top bag and rolling pin. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until evenly combined.

Step 3

Press the Oreo crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan. Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the sour cream and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and mix until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 6

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can create cracks in the cheesecake.

Step 7

Pour half of the cheesecake batter onto the prepared crust. Sprinkle chopped Oreo cookies on top, then pour the remaining batter over the cookies, smoothing the surface with a spatula.

Step 8

Place the springform pan inside a large roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan. This creates a water bath to prevent cracking.

Step 9

Bake the cheesecake for 70-75 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.

Step 10

Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and allow it to cool to room temperature. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.

Step 11

To make the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.

Step 12

Pour the ganache over the chilled cheesecake, spreading it evenly to the edges. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to set the ganache layer.

Step 13

In a mixing bowl, whip the whipping cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form. Pipe or spread the whipped cream over the ganache, and garnish with chopped Oreo cookies for extra flair.

Step 14

Slice the cheesecake with a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts, and serve chilled.
