  • 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake
  • 3 packages (8 oz) Cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cups Granulated sugar
  • 3 large Eggs

  • 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon Red food coloring
  • 1 cups Sour cream

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and melted butter until moistened. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
  3. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool.
Cheesecake Filling
  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and fluffy.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
  3. Mix in the vanilla, cocoa powder, and red food coloring until uniformly blended.
  4. Fold in the sour cream and chopped Oreos gently.
Bake
  1. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  2. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
  3. Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake for approximately 55-65 minutes, or until the center is set.
  4. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for another hour with the oven door ajar.
Cooling
  1. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for about an hour.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least four hours (or overnight).
Serving
  1. Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
  2. Top with the remaining Oreos, slice, and serve.
