Ingredients
  

Crust:
  • 1 cup Oreo crumbs gluten free if needed
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
Cheesecake:
  • 2 - 8 oz packages of cream cheese room temperature
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup orange juice fresh squeezed
  • zest from one orange
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Optional Garnish:
  • orange slices
  • chocolate orange pieces

Method
 

Crust:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of a 7 inch springform pan with a parchment paper.
  2. Mix your oreo crumbs with your melted butter. Add the crumbs to your prepared springform pan and firmly pat down to get an even layer on the bottom and sides. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Fill a deep baking dish with water and carefully place it on the bottom rack of your oven.
Cheesecake:
  1. Reduce your temperature to 325 degrees F. Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat your cream cheese, sugar, cocoa powder, orange juice, orange zest, heavy cream, sour cream, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Scrape down the sides of your bowl. Add in your eggs one at a time, mixing until the egg is just combined.
  2.  Bake at 325 degrees F for 75 minutes. Turn off the oven and slightly crack open the oven door. Let the cheesecake slowly reduce in temperature for one hour then remove it from the oven.
  3. Allow your cheesecake to cool to room temperature and then place in your fridge for at least 4 hours. Top with optional garnish and enjoy!
