Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine finely crushed Oreo cookies with melted unsalted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake the crust for 11 minutes and let it cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Blend in hot cocoa mix, cocoa powder, sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Add eggs one at a time.
- Place the filled springform pan into a larger roasting pan and pour hot water halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
- Bake for 75-85 minutes until the edges are set but the center jiggles.
- Turn off the oven and crack open the door, allowing the cheesecake to cool for 30 minutes. Remove from the water bath and let cool completely for at least 6 hours.
- In a mixing bowl, beat heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until medium peaks form. Spread whipped cream on top of the cooled cheesecake.
