Cosmic Chocolate Oreo Drip Cake

Cosmic Chocolate Oreo Drip Cake

Ingredients:

• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups Oreo crumbs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 24 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup crushed Oreos
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon red food coloring
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• Mini Oreos, for decoration
• Red velvet cake crumbs
• Whipped cream
• Sprinkles

Instructions:

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C) and greasing a 9-inch springform pan.
2. Create the crust by mixing the Oreo crumbs with melted butter in a bowl. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes. Once done, allow it to cool.
3. For the cheesecake filling, beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Gradually mix in the granulated sugar, followed by the sour cream and vanilla extract. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, ensuring to beat well after each addition.
4. Stir in the cocoa powder and red food coloring until fully blended. Gently fold in the crushed Oreos, being careful not to over-mix.
5. Pour the cheesecake batter into the cooled Oreo crust, spreading it evenly across the surface.
6. Bake the cheesecake for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set and edges are lightly browned. Once baked, turn off the oven, leaving the door slightly open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
7. After cooling, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight before carefully removing it from the pan.
8. To prepare the chocolate drip, heat the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl, warming in 30-second intervals and stirring until you achieve a smooth consistency.
9. Drizzle the chocolate ganache over the edges of the cheesecake, allowing it to elegantly drip down the sides.
10. Finish off by decorating with whipped cream, mini Oreos, red velvet cake crumbs, and vibrant sprinkles.
