Christmas Triple Chocolate Cheesecake with Oreo Crust 🎄🍫🍰

Indulge your holiday guests with a slice of our decadent Triple Chocolate Cheesecake! This rich and creamy dessert features layers of chocolate bliss and an Oreo crust, making it the perfect sweet treat to satisfy those festive cravings.

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 24 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 2 lbs cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 4 eggs, at room temperature
• 10 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

For the Chocolate Topping:

• ¾ cup heavy cream
• 6 oz bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Directions:

1. Prepare the Crust:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan. In a bowl, finely crush the Oreo cookies and mix with the melted butter. Press this mixture firmly onto the bottom of the pan. Bake for 6 minutes, then cool on a wire rack.

2. Make the Filling:
Melt the bittersweet chocolate and set it aside to cool slightly. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Mix in the cocoa powder until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Finally, mix in the cooled chocolate until smooth.

3. Bake the Cheesecake:
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes. The center should slightly jiggle when you gently shake the pan. Allow the cheesecake to cool, then refrigerate uncovered for at least 8 hours or overnight for best results.

4. Prepare the Topping:
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream, chopped chocolate, and sugar over low heat until melted and smooth. Allow it to cool slightly, then pour it over the chilled cheesecake, spreading it evenly.

5. Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the cheesecake until the chocolate topping is set. For a festive touch, garnish with chocolate curls or additional whipped cream if desired.
