Cheesecake is the kind of dessert that everybody enjoys and is great for any occasion. This baked chocolate cheesecake is a rich and decadent dessert that combines the creamy texture of cheesecake with the intense flavor of chocolate.
To make this cheesecake, first prepare the crust using whole Oreo cookies and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to create a crunchy crust. The filling consists of a mixture of cream cheese, sugar, eggs, chocolate, sour cream and cocoa powder. Bake the cheesecake at a low temperature to ensure a smooth and creamy texture. Once the cheesecake is baked, allow it to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for several hours or overnight.
The final touch is an amazing spiral of chocolate frosting and chocolate curls decoration. These are adding an extra layer of richness to the already indulgent dessert. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with fresh fruit, this chocolate cheesecake is a dessert that is sure to impress.
Any chocolate lover will love this for sure. The best thing is that you can make this cheesecake in advance and keep it refrigerated or even frozen.

Hi from Albania : p
I am a big fan and i have done a lot of your recipes and they were delicious. I want to do these dessert in a 24 cm pan. Can you help me with the measuring.
Thnx :*
Hi Jora.
To find the corect measurements you can use the rule of three.
I really love your recipes! I definitely wanting to try this! It’s so easier for my when you type in how much “gram” you need, because i’m not used to “cup” 🙂
Hi Karoline.
The recipe have already the quantities in gram
Hi! Does the frosting “set” totally? As in can I frost the cheesecake a day before a party or does it need to be done 30 minutes prior to serving? Also I’ve only got a 9 inch spring form pan. Do you have any suggestions for changing the pan size? I don’t know what the “rule of 3” is that you mentioned in a previous comment.
Hi Jessie.
You can keep the cake in the fridge for one day without any problems; and you can use the same quantities from the recipe.
Hi how long can this be stored? Whats the best way of storing cheesecake without it tasting stale?
Hi Monami.
You can keep the cheesecake in the fridge for about 3 days.
I’d like to know where you got those beautiful plates!! I need to have them!!
