Make a creamy, decadent chocolate cheesecake without turning on the oven. This recipe uses a simple Oreo crust and a smooth chocolate filling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed Oreo cookies (about 30 cookies)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips, for topping
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, for ganache

Instructions

  1. Mix the crushed Oreos and melted butter in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill the crust for 15 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until fully combined.
  3. Pour in the melted, cooled semi-sweet chocolate and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is uniform and creamy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the 1 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate cream cheese mixture in two additions until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Spoon the filling over the chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
  8. To make the topping, heat the 2 tablespoons of heavy cream until simmering. Pour it over the 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth to create a simple ganache.
  9. Pour the ganache over the set cheesecake and spread evenly. Chill for another 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use good quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
  • Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened to prevent lumps in the filling.
  • If you prefer a baked version, bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 50 to 60 minutes, then cool slowly.
