Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan with baking spray and parchment paper.
  2. Blend Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter. Press into the bottom of the springform pan and bake for 11 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add cocoa mix, cocoa powder, sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla. Mix until lump-free.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low until just combined. Pour filling over cooled crust and smooth the top.
  5. Set up a water bath by placing the springform pan in a larger dish filled with hot water halfway up the sides.
  6. Bake for 75-85 minutes until edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake to cool for 30 minutes.
  7. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  8. Top with whipped cream and desired toppings right before serving.
