How do I make Death by Chocolate cheesecake?
First, you make the crust using Oreo cookies. Press the Oreo cookies until they’re small, fine crumbs. Add butter and press it on the bottom of a springform pan. Bake it for about 5 minutes and leave it to cool while you’re preparing the filling for the cheesecake.
For the filling, you’ll need about ten ounces of melted bittersweet chocolate. Beat together cocoa powder, cream cheese, and sugar in a small bowl. Mix until they’re smooth. Add in the melted chocolate and eggs and mix. Pour the filling into the Oreo crust and bake. Use dark chocolate ganache for the topping.
