Adapted from Chocolate Cheesecake by Sugar Spun Run

Ingredients

Crust:

• 10 oz Oreo cookies (about 25 cookies)
• 3 Tbsp butter, melted

Filling:

• 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• ¾ tsp vanilla
• 7 ½ oz bittersweet chocolate chips, melted
• 3 eggs

Topping:

• 2 cups sour cream
• 3 Tbsp sugar
• ½ tsp vanilla
• ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted (about 3 oz)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

2. Crush the whole Oreo cookies (including frosting centers) in a food processor to make 2 cups of fine crumbs. Stir in melted butter, then press evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch* springform pan.

3. Whip cream cheese in a stand mixer with sugar and vanilla. Drizzle in melted bittersweet chocolate once it has cooled down to room temperature, then add eggs one at a time.

4. Pour filling into crust. Bake 60 minutes.

5. Whip sour cream with sugar and vanilla. Add melted semisweet chocolate and whip until incorporated and smooth. Pour topping on cheesecake.

6. Return to oven and bake for 10 more minutes. Cool before removing sides from springform pan. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

*I always use a 9-inch springform pan. It gets very full, but it does all fit. You could also use a 10-inch springform pan.
