# Ingredients:

01 - 1 cup sour cream.
02 - 2 tbsp cocoa powder.
03 - ½ cup heavy cream.
04 - 1 tsp vanilla extract.
05 - 2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs.
06 - Whipped cream (to garnish).
07 - Sprinkles (optional topping).
08 - 24 oz (680g) softened cream cheese.
09 - 1 cup granulated sugar.
10 - Mini Oreos (optional garnish).
11 - ½ cup crushed Oreo pieces.
12 - 3 large eggs.
13 - Red velvet cake crumbs (optional decoration).
14 - 1 tsp red food dye.
15 - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
16 - ¼ cup melted unsalted butter.

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pan with a removable base.
02 - Mix the Oreo crumbs with melted butter until combined. Firmly press this into the base of your pan. Bake for about 10 minutes, then leave to cool completely.
03 - Whisk the softened cream cheese until there are no lumps. Blend in the sugar, sour cream, and vanilla.
04 - Mix in the eggs one by one, ensuring each is incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the cocoa powder, red dye, and crushed Oreo pieces.
05 - Pour the mixture over the crust. Bake for an hour or so. Leave the cheesecake in the turned-off oven with the door slightly open for another hour. Move it to the fridge for 4+ hours or overnight.
06 - Heat the chocolate chips with the heavy cream in a microwave. Stir until it's silky and smooth, then drizzle on the cheesecake after it's chilled.
07 - Top it off with whipped cream, mini Oreos, sprinkles, and little bits of red velvet cake crumbs.

# Notes:

01 - Enjoy an indulgent combination of creamy cheesecake, rich red velvet flavors, and crunchy Oreos. Perfect for parties or special occasions.
02 - Letting it chill overnight gives it the best texture and taste.
