For the Chocolate Cookie Crust
- 24 Oreo cookies

For the No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake Filling
- 24 ounces cream cheese full-fat (the kind in a brick)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate melted & cooled slightly
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
To Make the Chocolate Cookie Crust
- Place the Oreo cookies and melted butter in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until the cookies are finely ground.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased springform pan (9 or 10 inch) and press it into an even layer.
To Make the No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake Filling
- Place the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder in a large mixing bowl and beat until smooth.
- Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula.
- Whisk in the cream on medium-low speed, about 1/4 cup at a time, stopping frequently to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula.
- When all the cream has been added, turn the mixer up to high speed and whip the filling until it can hold stiff peaks.
- Fold in the melted, cooled chocolate and the vanilla extract, and layer the mixture over the Oreo cookie crust, smoothing it into an even layer.
- Chill until set (approx. 2 hours or overnight).
To garnish (optional)
- Pour chocolate glaze over the chilled cheesecake, allowing it to drip over the sides.
