Chocolate Bliss Cheesecake
Prep: 20 min | Total: 5 hr 30 min | Yield: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 18 Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, finely crushed (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 3 (8 ounce) packages) Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (8 square) package Baker's Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted, cooled slightly
- 3 eggs
Instructions
- Heat oven to 325 degrees F if using a silver 9 inch springform pan (or to 300 degrees F if using a dark nonstick 9 inch springform pan). Mix cookie crumbs and butter; press firmly onto bottom of pan.
- Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add melted chocolate; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Pour over crust.
- Bake for 55 minutes to 1 hour or until center is almost set. Run knife or metal spatula around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim of pan. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
- Store leftover cheesecake in refrigerator.
Notes
How To Prepare Crust: Use bottom of straight-sided glass to evenly press cookie crumb mixture onto bottom of springform pan.
Jazz It Up: Dust entire surface of cooled cheesecake with cocoa powder using a wire mesh strainer. For a festive Valentine's Day garnish, create a heart-shaped design by topping dusted cheesecake with a heart-shaped stencil and sprinkling with powdered sugar. Garnish with fresh strawberries and raspberries just before serving.
