Ingredients

For the Oreo Crust:

1 ½ cups Oreo cookie crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Red Velvet Cheesecake Layer:

32 oz (4 blocks) cream cheese, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

4 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Red food coloring (a few drops, to your desired intensity)

½ cup crushed Oreos

For the Chocolate Drip:

1 cup heavy cream

8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

For the Oreo Cookie Topping:

Whole Oreo cookies, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.

  • Prepare the Oreo crust: In a medium bowl, mix Oreo cookie crumbs with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside.

  • Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add flour, then eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and red food coloring. Gently fold in crushed Oreos.

  • Bake the cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake batter over the Oreo crust. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set with a slight jiggle in the center. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  • Make the chocolate ganache: Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips. Let stand for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth. Let the ganache cool slightly.

  • Assemble the cake: Once the cheesecake is chilled, drizzle the ganache over the top, letting it drip down the sides. Garnish with whole Oreo cookies.

  • Serve: Slice the cheesecake and enjoy the rich layers of red velvet, cheesecake, and chocolate ganache.

Notes

For a richer chocolate drip, use dark chocolate chips.

Flavor variations: Use a graham cracker crust instead of the Oreo crust, or experiment with different cheesecake flavors.

Make ahead: The cake can be prepared a day in advance. Chilling overnight enhances the flavor and makes slicing easier.
