How to Make the Oreo Cookies Crust:

1. Crush the Oreo cookies to a fine consistency using a food processor, then combine the crushed Oreos and melted butter in a mixing bowl.

2. Transfer the Oreo mixture into a 20 cm cake mold lined with parchment paper. Use the glass base to firmly press the mixture, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.

How to Make the Cheesecake:

1. Whisk the softened cream cheese in a spacious mixing bowl until it achieves a smooth and creamy consistency. Add powdered sugar and beat until it blends thoroughly.

2. Whip cream in a bowl until stiff peaks, add a few spoonful of whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.

3. Combine the cream cheese mixture with the whipped cream by gently folding, creating a smooth and well-incorporated mixture.

4. Give the Oreo cookies a rough chop, leaving them coarsely textured. Add the chopped Oreos to the cheesecake mixture, ensuring an even distribution.

5. Retrieve the Oreo cookie crust from the refrigerator and spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.

6. Place it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours, or better yet, overnight, to ensure it sets completely.

7. Combine the warm milk with the chopped chocolate, allowing it to rest for 5 minutes.

8. After 5 minutes stir until the chocolate is entirely melted, and the mixture attains a smooth consistency.

9. Retrieve the cheesecake from the refrigerator and drizzle the melted chocolate onto the chilled cheesecake, ensuring an even and smooth spread.

10. Refrigerate the cheesecake, allowing it to chill for a minimum of 1 hour.

11. Remove the cake from the mold, garnish with Oreo cookies.

💭Tips for Recipe Success

Chill the Crust: Allow the crust to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before adding the filling. This helps it set and maintains a good texture.

Softened Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature for a smoother filling. Cold cream cheese can result in lumps.

Gentle Folding: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. This maintains the light and airy texture of the filling.

Adding Crushed Oreos: Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies into the filling gently. This adds both flavor and a bit of crunch to the cheesecake.

Chocolate Topping Consistency: When preparing the chocolate topping, achieve a pourable yet thick consistency. This ensures a smooth topping.

Sufficient Chilling Time: Allow the cheesecake to chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or, preferably, overnight. This ensures it sets properly.

Clean cuts: For the best-looking slices, run a knife under hot water and dry it before each cut.
