16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups (300ml) heavy whipping cream

8 crushed Oreo cookies (for folding in)
For the Ganache Topping:
100g (3.5 oz) milk chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
PREPARATION STEPS
Make the Crust:
In a food processor, crush the Oreos into fine crumbs.
Add melted butter and pulse until combined.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan (8 or 9-inch).
Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to press down firmly. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
Fold the melted milk chocolate into the cream cheese mixture.
Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated.
Fold in the crushed Oreos.
Assemble:
Spread the chocolate cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust.
Smooth the top with a spatula. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Make the Ganache Topping:
Heat the heavy cream until just simmering, then pour over the chopped chocolate.
Let sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Pour the ganache over the chilled cheesecake and tilt the pan to spread evenly. Chill for an additional hour.
Serve:
Remove from the springform pan, slice, and serve chilled. Optional: garnish with extra Oreo pieces or chocolate shavings.
