Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 packages of Oreo cookies
  • 5 packages of softed cream cheese
  • 2 packets of whipped topping
  • 1/2 Cup butter, melted
  • 2 cups crushed Oreo cookies
  • 6 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 Cup sugar
  • 1/2 Cup cocoa

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until a thick paste forms.
  • Grease an 8-inch round pan with butter or nonstick spray and press the Oreo cookie mixture into it, forming the bottom layer of your cheesecake.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the cream cheese, vanilla extract, and cocoa until fully combined.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture over the Oreo crust layer, using an offset spatula to evenly distribute it.
  • Top with the whipped topping and spread it out so that it covers the entire surface of the cheesecake.
  • Garnish with Oreo cookies. Place in a preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let it cool before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you begin baking. This will help ensure a smooth and creamy cheesecake.
  • For a richer flavor, try using dark chocolate cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa powder.
  • If the cheesecake is starting to brown too quickly in the oven, tent it with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before slicing and serving.
  • If you want to make a larger cheesecake, double the ingredients and bake in a 9-inch pan. Be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
