Ingredients
  

Cheesecake Crust

  • 2 cups Oreo cookies crushed
  • 1 stick unsalted butter melted

Cheesecake

  • 2 cups heavy cream cold
  • 16 oz cream cheese room temperature
  • ¼ cup sour cream at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar sifted
  • 3 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • red food dye

Topping

  • 6 Oreos crushed
  • 1 cup heavy cream cold
  • ¼ cup sugar

Instructions
 

Crust

  • Using a large mixing bowl, combine your crushed Oreos and melted butter. If any crumbs are dry, make sure they are moist.
  • For 20 minutes, place the 9" spring form pan in the freezer and press the crumbs into an even layer with a rubber spatula or the bottom of a measuring cup.

Cheesecake filling

  • Whip cold heavy cream with a stand mixer attachment or with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Remove from heat.
  • Make sure the cream is completely smooth by beating it at medium speed with the paddle attachment.
  • Then add vanilla extract, cocoa powder, sour cream, and red food dye. Sift in confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder. Mix on medium-high until smooth and incorporated.
  • Fold in the whipped cream gently with a rubber spatula, being careful not to deflate it.
  • Fill your chilled crust with the filling. Make sure the top is smooth by using a small offset spatula. Place in the refrigerator overnight, covered with plastic wrap. The best time is 12 hours. Remove the springform pan from the fridge and remove the sides.

Topping

  • Prepare your heavy cream by mixing heavy cream and sugar just before serving. You can use a hand mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment to whip the cream until stiff peaks form.
  • Place your Oreo cookie crumbs on top of the cheesecake.
  • Pipe the whipped cream along the sides of the cheesecake using a piping bag fitted with a tip (I used the Wilton 1M).
