  • 16 oz Cream Cheese Use full-fat cream cheese for best results.
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar

Instructions
 

Steps to Prepare

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • Process the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter and press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Chill while making the filling.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar, beating until fluffy.
  • Mix in the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Stir in sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Gently fold in cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light.
  • Pour the batter over the chilled crust. Bake for 45-50 minutes until edges are set and center jiggles slightly.
  • Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Decorate with crushed Oreos, M&M's, Cadbury eggs, and Peeps.

Notes

Serve with a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra delight. Make sure to chill thoroughly before serving to enhance texture.
