A Decadent Delight for Every Celebration!
Ingredients:
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup crushed Oreos
½ cup heavy cream
2 cups Oreo crumbs
3 large eggs
24 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp cocoa powder
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp red food coloring
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup sour cream
Instructions:
Prep the Oven & Pan: Preheat to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan for easy removal.
Make the Crust: Mix Oreo crumbs with melted butter, press into the pan base, and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
Cheesecake Filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add sugar and mix well. Blend in sour cream and vanilla, followed by eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly.
Color & Crunch: Mix in cocoa powder and red food coloring until even, then fold in crushed Oreos for a delightful crunch.
Bake the Cheesecake: Pour filling into the cooled crust. Bake for 60-70 minutes until set in the center with lightly browned edges. Turn off the oven and cool with the door slightly open for an hour.
Chill the Cake: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture. Carefully remove from the pan.
Chocolate Drip: Microwave chocolate chips and heavy cream in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth. Drizzle ganache over the edges for a beautiful drip effect.
Decorate: Top with whipped cream, mini Oreos, red velvet crumbs, and sprinkles for a show-stopping finish.
