Method

  1. Base – Blitz Oreo cookies into fine crumbs, mix with melted butter and a pinch of salt, press into the bottom of a 20 cm (8 in) springform pan and chill.

  2. Chocolate – Melt the 70% cocoa chocolate for the filling, then let cool until lukewarm; whisk cocoa powder with hot water until smooth and set aside.

  3. Cheesecake filling – Whip the cold thickened cream to stiff peaks. In a large bowl beat softened cream cheese with white sugar until fluffy, add vanilla extract, then the melted chocolate and cocoa‑water mixture. Fold in one‑third of the whipped cream, then the remaining whipped cream until fully incorporated.

  4. Assemble – Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled base, smooth the surface and refrigerate for 2 hours.

  5. Ganache – Heat the ganache cream just below boiling, pour over the chopped chocolate, let stand 5 minutes, then stir until smooth and remove bubbles. Pour the ganache over the set cheesecake and chill for a total of 6 hours.

  6. Whipped cream for piping – Beat cold thickened cream with caster sugar and vanilla extract (for piping) to stiff peaks, then pipe swirls over the chilled cheesecake.

  7. Finish – Garnish with shaved milk chocolate, if desired.
