Filling

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor until they resemble fine crumbs. In a bowl, mix the crushed cookies with melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and mix until well blended. Add the sour cream, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract; mix until fully combined. One at a time, add the eggs, mixing on low speed until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

  3. 3

    Combine and Bake

    Pour the filling into the cooled Oreo crust, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Chill and Serve

    Remove the cheesecake from the oven, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan, slice, and enjoy!
