👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the Crust
Crush the Oreos and mix them with melted butter. Press firmly into a springform pan and bake briefly to set. Let it cool.
2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
Beat the cream cheese until silky smooth, then add sugar, cocoa powder, eggs (one at a time), vanilla, cream, and finally green coloring. Don’t overmix once the eggs are added — this helps prevent cracking.
3. Bake in a Water Bath
Pour the batter over the crust and bake in a water bath. This gentle baking method keeps the texture creamy and prevents cracks. Once baked, allow to cool gradually in the oven, then chill overnight.
4. Decorate
Whip up fresh cream, spread a layer on top, and decorate the sides with crushed Oreos and sprinkles. Add piped whipped cream and whole Oreos for a dramatic finish.
🎉 Serving Tips & Storage
- Slice with a hot knife for clean, professional-looking cuts.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Leftovers? Freeze individual slices wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.
💡 Pro Tips for Perfect Cheesecake
- Bring all your ingredients to room temperature before mixing.
- Do not skip the water bath — it ensures even cooking.
- Let the cheesecake chill for at least 6–8 hours before slicing.
- Use a springform pan lined with parchment paper for easy release.
