Ingredients

• 24 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos)
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 24 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
• 0.25 cup Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the base with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. You can also crush them in a zip-top bag using a rolling pin if you don’t have a food processor.

Step 3

Combine the cookie crumbs with the melted butter in a medium-sized bowl and mix until it resembles wet sand.

Step 4

Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Set aside in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Add the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract, and mix on low speed until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can add too much air to the batter.

Step 7

Melt the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and fully melted.

Step 8

Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly, then stir it into the cheesecake batter until it is fully incorporated.

Step 9

Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared cookie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 10

Place the springform pan on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight wobble.

Step 11

Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar to cool slowly for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracks on the surface.

Step 12

Once cooled to room temperature, transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 13

Before serving, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and spread or pipe it over the top of the cheesecake, if desired.

Step 14

Garnish with chocolate shavings or sprinkles for an extra touch of elegance.

Step 15

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your rich and decadent Chocolate Cookie Cheesecake!
