Ingredients
 
 

  • 25 Oreo Cookies
  • 1/2 Stick Butter
  • 9 oz Dark Chocolate see notes
  • 1 2/3 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 9 oz Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 9 oz Dark Chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Using a food processor or a heavy object like a rolling pin crush the cookies into fine crumbs. Melt the butter and pour over the cookie crumbs, mix until evenly combined.
  • Pour the cookie crumbs into a lined cake pan and use the back of a spoon to press into an even layer. Place into the fridge to set while preparing the filling.
  • Cut the chocolate into small pieces with a knife and place into a heat proof bowl. Melt the chocolate over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until completely smooth and leave to cool. Pour the heavy cream into a medium sized mixing bowl and beat with a whisk or a hand mixer until softly whipped, set to the side.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine the cream cheese and sugar together with a whisk or hand mixer until light and smooth. Pour the softly whipped cream and cooled melted chocolate into the bowl with the cream cheese and sugar. Fold the ingredients together until combined.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling into the cake pan and use an offset spatula to smooth out the top. Bang the cake pan on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles and place back into the fridge.
  • Cut the second measurement of chocolate into small pieces and place into a small bowl. Add the cream to a saucepan and heat over medium heat until it just comes to the boil. Pour the cream over the chocolate and stir until you have a smooth thick mixture.
  • Pour the chocolate ganache over the cheesecake filling and place back into the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight to set completely before serving.

Notes

Use a good quality dark chocolate that is at least 50% cocoa for the best results.
Keep the cheesecake in the fridge until you are ready to serve. It can also be served frozen.
