Triple Chocolate Cheesecake with Oreo Crust

If you are a real chocoholic, love cheesecake and are an Oreo addict, then there is only one solution for you, the decadent Triple Chocolate Cheesecake with Oreo Crust.

For the last two weeks, I was so busy that I couldn’t even think of my blog, let alone write a post.

My husband organised a big badminton tournament with over 70 participants and asked me to help him with the organisation. We couldn’t even imagine how much time and energy all that would take. And as soon as that came to an end, it was time for Halloween. But not in the way you think!

You probably were not aware of this fact, but Halloween is also my birthday. Yes and that means: besides thinking of this beautiful holiday, every year I have to prepare a birthday cake and a pile of cakes for my friends who come to my birthday with their sweet little kids .

Maybe you would think that it is the right time to take a picture of all those treats, but this year, I just spent so much time preparing the food that I had almost no time to take pictures and write a post. It’s a real pity that I didn’t do it because that evening, I had two beautiful cakes and a pile of beautiful Snickers Cupcakes on my table.

And so after this holiday-birthday madness, it was time to go back to my blog. Believe it or not, as much cakes as I made, I ate very little. Because of that, for this post, I decided to make something really great. You already know that I’m a big chocoholic, my husband loves cheesecake and my son Marco likes nothing more than to munch Oreo cookies. And so, the solution came by itself – Triple Chocolate Cheesecake with Oreo Crust.

Maybe you will think that the triple lair of Chocolate is too much for one dessert. Trust me, it’s not. This is one of the most decadent desserts I have ever made.

Anyway, just listen to this. The crust is very simple from crushed Oreos and butter baked for 10 minutes. Over it is a thick lair of smeared chocolate cheesecake made of a combination of cream cheese, melted chocolate and cocao and over all that, you pour the unavoidable chocolate ganache. And to make the texture of my cheesecake more interesting, I put a lot of chocolate curls over the top!

Yummy, really phenomenal! If it looks great, well, believe me, the taste is even better. The beautiful soft taste of the cheesecake just melts into it the taste of cocao and chocolate. And all that combined with Oreo, get ready for real sweet heaven!

And in the end, only one more thing! Cut one peace and put the rest of the cake back in the fridge, because if this cheesecake stays on your table, there is a strong possibility that there will soon be nothing left. Well, at least, that’s what happened to us
