Recipe details
Ingredients
For the crust
- 2/3 of an Oreos Package
- 4 Tbsp Butter, melted
For the cheesecake
- 3 packages of cream cheese
- 1/2 Cup Cocoa Powder
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 1/4 Tsp Salt
- 1/4 Cup Heavy Cream
- 5 Eggs
- 1 Tsp of vanilla extract
- 1 Bar of 70% Dark Chocolate, chopped and melted
Instructions
For the crust
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Put the cookies in a food processor, separating them from the cream filling, and blend to make a fine crumb.
- Mix in the melted butter and stir. Add more butter if needed to get a wet sand texture.
- Line a 6" pan with parchment paper, I prefer a loose base for easy and clean removal.
- Put the crust mixture into the bottom of the pan and use something flat to pat it firmly.
For the cheesecake
- In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, cocoa, sugar, and salt.
- Add the first 2 eggs, mix until smooth and then add the other 3 eggs mixing again.
- Stir in the cream, yolks, melted chocolate, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the filling into the pan and place in the oven.
- Bake for 25 minutes and then lower the temperature to 250 and bake for another hour.
- Turn off the oven and allow the cheesecake to slowly cool down for another hour.
- Transfer to fridge for a few hours to fully cool before taking out and slicing.
