Ingredients

Scale

Oreo Crust

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

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

Topping (Optional)

  • Whipped cream
  • Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oreo Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine 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

  • Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to achieve a smooth filling without lumps.
  • Melting each type of chocolate separately prevents the layers from blending and keeps distinct chocolate flavors.
  • Allowing the cheesecake to cool gradually in the oven prevents cracking.
  • Refrigerate overnight if possible to enhance flavors and texture.
  • Use a water bath if you want to further reduce cracks, though not required for this recipe.
