Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Place the rack in the center.
  • Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor and mix with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.

  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Stir in the hot cocoa mix until well combined.
  • Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust.

Baking

  • Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set with a gentle wobble.
  • Allow to cool and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Serving

  • Before serving, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form and top the cheesecake with whipped cream.
  • Garnish with chocolate shavings or marshmallows if desired.

Notes

If the cheesecake cracks, they can often be covered with whipped cream. For a smooth top, consider using a water bath.
