Triple Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake

Triple Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake

This triple chocolate cheesecake is everything a chocolate lover could hope for! An oreo crust, a rich chocolate cheesecake filling, a delicious ganache, chocolate whipped cream and chopped oreos. You will definitely want to get the milk ready to drink! For the ganache I used Chocoley’s semisweet dark V125 indulgence chocolate. It melted beautifully, drizzled perfectly and tasted phenomenal! Very rich and smooth! The whipped cream for this dessert was also special because it was chocolate! Use the best cocoa powder you can find since it is the star ingredient in the cream. I like to use Valrhona from whole foods. You can usually find it in the specialty department near the cheeses. It is definitely worth the splurge! I hope you love this triple chocolate oreo cheesecake as much as we did! Be creative in your decorating! Chopped oreos or even chocolate chips and sprinkles would be great choices!
