A three-layer chocolate cheesecake that's simple enough for anyone to make. With its cookie bottom, creamy middle, and rich toppings, this treat is perfect for chocolate fans.
Heat your oven to 325°F. Spray a 9-inch round pan with non-stick spray. Put some parchment paper on the bottom.
Crush the Oreo cookies until they look like fine crumbs.
Mix the crushed Oreos and melted butter in a bowl.
Push this mix into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool.
Chocolate Cheesecake
Put chocolate chips in a bowl.
Heat up 1/2 cup of the whipping cream until it's warm, then pour it over the chocolate chips. Wait 5 minutes.
Stir until it's smooth.
In a big bowl, use a hand mixer to make the cream cheese smooth.
Add sugar and cocoa powder. Mix well.
Add the eggs one at a time, then add the other half of the whipping cream. Mix well. Now add in the melted chocolate.
Add vanilla and mix one more time.
Pour this over the crust in the pan.
Bake for 70 minutes. Put another pan under it to catch any drips. It’s done when the edges are firm but the middle wiggles a bit. Let it cool, then put it in the fridge for 4 hours.
Ganache
Heat 3/4 cup of whipping cream until warm. Pour it over chocolate chips and wait 5 minutes. Mix until smooth. Let it cool.
Toppings
Take the cold cheesecake out and spread the chocolate sauce over the top.
In another bowl, put all the stuff for the whipped cream except the mini chips. Beat until it's thick.
Put the thick cream in the piping bag.
Use the piping bag to put little puffs of cream around the edge of the cheesecake. Throw mini chocolate chips on top.
Let chill for at least 4 hours, then serve and enjoy!
