Ingredients

For Crust
Oreo cookies crumbs - 1 and 1/2 cups
Butter - 1/3 cup, melted

For Cheesecake
Semi-sweet chocolate - 240 gms
Whipping cream - 1 cup, chilled
Powdered sugar - 1/4 cup
Cream cheese - 280 gms, room temp
Powdered sugar - 3/4 cup
Thick hung curd/ sour cream - 1/4 cup

Method

- In a heatproof bowl, over a pot of simmering water, melt the chocolate or Melt in the microwave at 30 secs intervals, stirring in between.
- Line a 8 x 8-inch pan with 2 layers of aluminum foil, letting it hang over the sides.
- Crush Oreo cookies to make 1 and ½ cups Oreo crumbs as shown or in a food processor and combine with melted butter.
- Press into the bottom of the prepared pan and place in the freezer while you make the filling. 
- Beat together chilled whipping cream with ¼ cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
-  In a large mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese with ¾ cup of powdered sugar until creamy.
- Add thick hung curd / sour cream followed by the melted and cooled chocolate and mix until combined.
- Fold in the whipped cream.
-          Spread the filling over the set Oreo crust and level and place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours. It's best kept overnight so that the cheesecake can set nicely.
-          Demold and serve with a drizzle of melted chocolate and whipped cream (optional).
-          Note: You can also pour a layer of chocolate ganache over the filling and leave it to set. But the Oreo crust and the filling were rich and chocolaty enough for us.
Enjoy!!
