Ingredients

1 package of Oreo cookies (30 cookies)
1/2 cup melted butter
2 packages (8 ounces each) of cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup of sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the crust

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or put the cookies in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Transfer the crumbs to a medium bowl and mix in the melted butter. Press the mixture into a 9-inch springform pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then set aside and let cool.

Step 2: Prepare the cheesecake filling

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. Add the sugar and mix until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix until just combined. Add the vanilla extract and sour cream, and mix until combined. Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.

Step 3: Prepare the chocolate topping

In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until it comes to a simmer. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate chips. Stir until the chips are melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Let cool for a few minutes, then pour over the cooled cheesecake. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
