Ingredients

Scale

15 Oreos

2 ½ tablespoons butter

melted

2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese

softened

2 eggs

⅔ cup sugar

⅔ cup sour cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon salt

12 Oreos

chopped into ½-inch pieces

1 cup dark chocolate chips

2 to 3 tablespoons heavy cream

whipped cream

Oreos

cut in half

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
Crush 15 Oreos into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter to form the crust. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add eggs, sugar, sour cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Fold in the chopped Oreos into the cheesecake batter.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in the springform pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Let the cheesecake cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
For the chocolate ganache, heat dark chocolate chips and heavy cream together until melted, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool slightly before pouring over the chilled cheesecake.
Top with whipped cream and halved Oreos if desired before serving.

Notes

For a richer cream cheese flavor, ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. Allow the cheesecake to chill overnight for the best texture.
