Instructions

  • In a food processor crush the Oreos into fine crumbs (you can also use a ziplock bag to do this step). Add melted butter to that and mix until combined.
  • Transfer the cookie crumbs into an 8-inch springform pan (nonstick/greased). Press the crumbs evenly onto the bottom of the pan, set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 325°f (160°c).
  • Cut the chocolate bar into small pieces unless you’re using chocolate chips.Then melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl on a double boiler, making sure the bottom of the bowl isn’t touching the simmering water.
  • Once the chocolate is completely melted, set aside and let it cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar on medium speed until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Add yogurt, whipping cream and vanilla essence, beat on low until combined. Add in the melted chocolate, cocoa powder and mix well. Then the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until mixed. Don’t over mix. Pour the filling over crust and spread evenly.
  • Using foil double wrap the bottom of the springform pan, sealing it tightly to prevent water from getting into the pan.
  • Place the springform pan into a larger pan/tray and pour boiling water into the larger pan, making sure the water level doesn’t come up higher than the foil. The water level shouldn’t be more than a third of the springform pan.
  • Bake the cheesecake for 60-70 minutes or until the center of the cake is set but still slightly jiggly. The cake will set completely as it cools.
  • Allow the cheesecake to completely cool at room temperature. Then refrigerate overnight.
  • Carefully run a knife around the sides of the pan to loosen the cake, before releasing the cake from the pan and slicing. For a cleaner cut dip the knife into hot water before slicing.
  • Store the cake/cake slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 5 days.

    This looks really yummy and surprisingly looks easy to make as well. Are you using salted or unsalted butter for this recipe?

  5. If I want to make the cake with 1 cup cream cheese, can I just half the remaining ingredients, or there is any specific ratio to follow?

    • I tried it, and it is AMAZING. Refrigerating the icing once its made gives it a texture something like pudding. Cream cheese pudding? Yes please!

    • no, eggs should not be mixed too much, just until incorporated, cream cheese, sugar, touch salt, sour cream, choc and cocoa, vanilla, eggs, in that order does me well
