- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 1¼ cups heavy cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 oz dark chocolate bar, melted and slightly cooled
- ¼ cup Irish cream liqueur (such as Baileys)
Whipped Topping
- 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions
1. Make the Crust
- Add Oreo cookies to a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs.
- Add melted butter and pulse again until well combined.
- Lightly grease an 8-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Press the Oreo mixture firmly into the base and up the sides of the pan using a measuring cup or glass. Chill in the refrigerator or freezer while you prepare the filling.
2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large bowl, whip 1¼ cups heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form (about 3 minutes).
- Add ¼ cup powdered sugar and ¼ cup cocoa powder, then beat until stiff peaks form (another 1–2 minutes). Set aside.
- In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle, blend the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until smooth (about 2 minutes).
- Add the melted chocolate and Irish cream liqueur; mix until incorporated (1–2 minutes on low speed).
- Gently fold in the whipped cream mixture until smooth and fluffy.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture into the crust and smooth the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight, to fully set.
3. Make the Whipped Topping
- When ready to serve, whip 1 cup heavy cream, ½ cup powdered sugar, and ½ tsp vanilla until stiff peaks form (3–5 minutes).
- Pipe or dollop over the chilled cheesecake.
- Garnish with grated chocolate and serve immediately.
Notes & Tips
- No alcohol? Replace the Baileys with non-alcoholic Irish cream syrup.
- Want to skip Baileys entirely? Use 1½ cups heavy cream in the filling for a fully alcohol-free version.
- For clean slices, wipe your knife between each cut with a warm, damp towel.
