Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare a 9X9-inch square pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper.
- Pulse the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter. Press into the prepared pan to form the crust and bake for 12 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate bar in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth.
- In a stand mixer, combine cream cheese, sugar, and cocoa powder. Beat until creamy, then mix in melted chocolate, heavy cream, and vanilla until smooth.
- Fold in eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined without overmixing.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the baked crust and smooth the top. Bake for 40-50 minutes until edges are set, and the center jiggles slightly.
- Cool in the oven with the door slightly open for 20 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
- For the ganache, simmer heavy cream and pour over chocolate chips. Let sit before stirring until smooth.
- Remove the cheesecake from the pan and pour ganache over the top. Freeze for 10 minutes before slicing into bars.
