Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a 9X9-inch square pan with nonstick spray and parchment paper.
  2. Crush the Oreo cookies and mix with melted butter to form the crust. Bake for 12 minutes.
  3. Melt the chocolate bar in the microwave and set aside to cool slightly.
  4. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and cocoa powder until fluffy. Mix in melted chocolate, heavy cream, and vanilla until smooth.
  5. Add eggs one at a time on low speed until just blended. Pour over cooled crust.
  6. Bake for 40-50 minutes until edges are set and center jiggles slightly. Cool with the oven door cracked.
  7. Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  8. Heat heavy cream for ganache and pour over chocolate chips. Stir until smooth.
  9. Lift the cheesecake from the pan, pour ganache on top, and freeze for 10 minutes before slicing.
