Ingredients
Oreo Crust:
24 Oreo cookies
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake:
32 oz cream cheese, softened (4 packages)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
6 oz semisweet baking chocolate (6 squares)
4 large eggs, room temperature
Ganache Topping:
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
Crust Preparation:
Combine 24 whole Oreo cookies and melted butter in a food processor; pulse until fine crumbs form.
Line a 9×13 inch baking dish with foil, coat with nonstick spray, press the crust mixture firmly and evenly.
Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes; remove and let cool.
Cheesecake Filling:
In a stand mixer, blend the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until creamy.
Mix in sour cream, then gradually add melted semisweet chocolate while continuing to mix.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing slowly to avoid over-mixing.
Pour the batter over the cooled crust and bake at 350°F for 15 minutes, then at 250°F for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Turn off oven, leave cheesecake inside until room temperature.
Ganache Topping:
Heat the heavy cream until boiling and pour over chocolate chips; let sit for a minute, then whisk until smooth.
Pour ganache over cooled cheesecake and smooth with a spatula.
Refrigerate for 4 hours before serving.
