 Ingredients

Oreo Crust

  • 1 (13.9 oz) package Oreo cookies (approx. 33 cookies)
  • 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
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup grated chocolate, for garnish

 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.
