Chocolate Cheesecake
Description
To make Chocolate Cheesecake, crushed Oreo cookies mixed with melted unsalted butter form the base pressed into a springform pan's bottom and sides. After chilling, the filling is prepared by melting semisweet chocolate chips and combining them with softened cream cheese, sugar, and flour. Eggs are added one at a time for a smooth mixture, followed by the melted chocolate, sour cream, and vanilla extract.
The cheesecake batter is poured over the chilled crust, and the pan is wrapped in foil and placed in a water bath within the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This technique maintains even heat and prevents cracking. Baking for 55–60 minutes until the center is just set produces a dense, creamy cheesecake with a rich chocolate flavor balanced by the Oreo crust's sweetness and crunch.
After baking, the cheesecake is cooled, chilled, and ready to slice for serving. This dessert is suitable for gatherings or as an indulgent treat, combining cookie texture and smooth chocolate cheesecake.
Ingredients
- 24 Oreo cookies , crushed to fine crumbs
- 6 tablespoons butter melted, unsalted
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 24 ounces cream cheese , softened (very important)
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 3 large egg
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix the Oreo cookies and butter in a medium bowl then press the crumb mixture into a 9" springform pan up the sides 1" high and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Melt chocolate chips in microwave in 30 second increments (total of 90 seconds), stirring each time in between until completely smooth.
- In your stand mixer add the cream cheese, sugar and flour until completely smooth (this is why we need softened cream cheese, if it is too cold you'll have small chunks of cream cheese here).
- Add in the eggs one at a time until each one is fully mixed in, then with the mixer going on low speed pour in the melted chocolate.
- Add in the sour cream and vanilla until smooth, then pour the mixture carefully into the chilled springform pan.
- Set the bottom of the cheesecake in foil (read water bath directions above) and place in water bath, then place in oven.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 55 - 60 minutes.
- Open the door to the oven about 4-5 inches and let cool for 2 hours in the partially opened oven before removing and refrigerating for 4-6 hours before serving.
