Instructions
INSTRUCTIONS:
- The first step for this cheesecake is to make the crust.
- In a food processor add the Oreo cookies and crushed them to crumbs. Then In a large bowl mix Oreo crumbs, cacao powder, and melted butter. Stir well and set aside.
- Line a 26 cm spring form pan with parchment paper. Transfer the Oreo mixture into the pan and press the crumbs into the bottom. Put it into the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
FILLING:
- In a food processor or mixer beat the cream cheese on medium speed until creamy. Add the sugar and cacao and stir well until the ingredients combine. Then add vanilla extract and melted chocolate.
Note:
- Melt the chocolate in a water bath or the microwave. If you have selected a microwave, turn the knob for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 minutes. I prefer to melt the chocolate in a water bath. Put a pot of water on the stove (half full of water) and place the bowl of chocolate on top. Wait for the water to boil, stir in the chocolate in the meantime and wait until the chocolate is melted.
- Stir until smooth. In a medium-size bowl add the heavy cream and with a mixer stir well. Add heavy whipping cream and stir until soft peaks.
- Pour the filling into the crust and spread evenly. Place into the refrigerator. Now is the time to make the final step.
- Chopped the chocolate into small pieces. Transfer into a large bowl. In a small saucepan add the heavy whipping cream and bring to simmer for a few minutes (2-3 minutes) or until the cream is warm. Then pour over the chocolate and let it sit for 1- 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Set aside for 3-4 minutes. Remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator and pour the resulting mixture over the cheesecake.
- Chill into the refrigerator for 5+ hours.
For decoration:
- Crush the hazelnuts in bulk and sprinkle over the cheesecake. Grate pieces of chocolate and sprinkle on cheesecake again.
TIPS AND TRICKS
Smooth Batter
Use creame cheese at room-temperetaure. Leave cream out the whole night or zap it for 20 seconds in the microwave at half power, Because too firm cream cheese will not make the batter smooth.
Prepare the lower crust first
As a first step, always prepare crust first, and freeze it in the freezer until you are preparing another filling. This will help in preventing the crust from breaking while spreading the filling over it.
Beat ingredients well
Beat sugar, cacao powder, and cream cheese completely until it becomes perfectly smooth.
