Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by wrapping it in heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  2. Crush approximately 24 Oreo cookies and mix with 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, beat 16 ounces of softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup of white sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and red food coloring until well combined.
  4. Gently fold in 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until fully incorporated. Pour this mixture over the cooled crust.
  5. Lower oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). Bake cheesecake in a bain-marie for 1 to 1.25 hours.
  6. Turn off the oven, leave the door ajar, and let the cheesecake cool for about 1 hour before transferring it to a wire rack.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours or overnight before serving.
  8. Top with whipped cream, garnish with mini Oreos and Christmas sprinkles before slicing and serving.
