Introduction

I'm beginning to call this "The last Cheesecake you will ever make". This is now being passed around everyone I know and I think it's only fair to share this amazing dessert with the world.

  • 50 grams dark chocolate (melted)
  • 9 ounces chocolate digestive biscuits (plain chocolate)

Method

Oreo Cookie and Cream Cheesecake is a community recipe submitted by wires and has not been tested by Nigella.com so we are not able to answer questions regarding this recipe.

  1. Line base of a 23cm springform tin
  2. Blend or process the plain chocolate biscuits until they resemble fine breadcrumbs. Add the melted butter and process until just combined.
  3. Using hands, press the biscuit mixture evenly over the base and 3cm up the side of the prepared tin and refrigerate for 20 minutes. (I found it good if you finish off shaping the biscuit base after 10 minutes in the fridge, getting the crumbs up the side of the tin makes a big difference).
  4. Sprinkle gelatine into the water in a jug/small bowl and in a small saucepan of simmering water. Stir until the gelatine dissolves and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  5. Beat the cheese, cream, vanilla extract and sugar in a bowl or processor. If using a processor pour into a bowl and stir in the gelatine mixture and the melted white chocolate then fold in the oreo cookies. Pour the mixture into the biscuit base and refrigerate for about 3 hours or until set.
  6. Drizzle with the melted dark chocolate (I used a piping bag, but you can just use a small freezer bag & cut a small corner off).

Additional Information

This recipe has been passed to me and I've tweaked it about a bit. You can lower the amount of white chocolate by up to 50g or so, to little detriment to the finished article. Cocoa powder, thickly dusted over the top of the cake, adds a deeper, more intense layer of taste.

  • Excellent recipe. My family loved it! We used melted chocolate, strawberries and extra Oreos to decorate the top. Next time I will try making it with dark chocolate instead of white.

  • I have made the cheesecake two times once with dark chocolate and once with white, and both times has been delicious turned put great.

  • I'm so confused by the gelatine quantity. The recipe asks for gelatin granules. Will the Dr. oetker ones do? They have a strength of '120', whatever that means? Please help.

  • We have made this many times and it is the best! It is now on our Christmas menu each year as we celebrate Christmas in sunny Australia! The only addition we make is adding sliced strawberries on top and then the drizzled chocolate. The strawberries cut through the richness and I think complete it. We will be making it again today to enjoy for our Christmas lunch tomorrow!

  • I'm thinking of making this and was wondering instead of using gelatine granulues did anyone use leaf gelatine?
