Description

Indulge in the ultimate chocolate lover’s dream with this Triple Chocolate Cheesecake featuring a rich Oreo cookie crust. Layers of semi-sweet, white, and dark chocolate infused cream cheese create a decadent, creamy treat that’s perfect for any dessert occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Oreo Crust:

  • 24 Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, melted

For the Topping:

  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oreo Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream and heavy cream until fully incorporated. Divide the filling into three separate bowls. In each bowl, fold in the melted chocolate chips: semi-sweet, white, and dark.
  3. Layer the Cheesecake: Pour the semi-sweet chocolate mixture over the cooled crust, spreading evenly. Next, pour the white chocolate layer on top, followed by the dark chocolate layer, spreading gently to avoid mixing the layers.
  4. Bake the Cheesecake: Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool slowly for about an hour.
  5. Chill and Serve: Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Before serving, top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder, if desired.

Notes

  • Be sure to use softened cream cheese for a smooth filling without lumps.
  • Melt the chocolate chips gently using a double boiler or microwave to avoid burning.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool slowly in the turned-off oven to prevent cracking.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake thoroughly to ensure clean slicing and best texture.
  • Optional toppings like whipped cream and chocolate shavings add visual appeal and extra flavor.
