Triple Chocolate Cheesecake with Oreo Crust Ingredients:
For the Crust:
24 Oreo cookies, finely crushed 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
24 oz (3 packages) cream cheese, softened 1 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 large eggs 1/2 cup sour cream 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted and cooled slightly 4 oz milk chocolate, melted and cooled slightly 4 oz white chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
For the Topping:
1/2 cup heavy cream 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped 4 oz milk chocolate, chopped Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Directions:
Prepare the Crust:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan. In a medium bowl, combine the finely crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form an even crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool while preparing the filling.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the sour cream until well combined.
Divide and Flavor the Filling:
Divide the cheesecake batter evenly into three separate bowls. Stir the melted semi-sweet chocolate into one bowl, the melted milk chocolate into the second bowl, and the melted white chocolate into the third bowl.
Layer the Cheesecake:
Pour the semi-sweet chocolate batter over the prepared crust and spread it out evenly. Carefully pour the milk chocolate batter over the semi-sweet layer and spread it out evenly. Finally, pour the white chocolate batter over the milk chocolate layer and spread it out evenly.
Bake the Cheesecake:
Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top looks dry. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly
