For the crust:
1 stick butter
2 rows of Oreo cookies from a standard package
To make crust: In a food processor or blender, put in the cookies one row at a time and then pulse the machine until the cookies are tiny crumbs. If the butter is not at room temperature, soften the butter a little bit in the microwave. Mix butter and cookie crumbs together and then press into a 9 inch spring form pan.
For filling:
3 packages cream cheese, softened
3 eggs
1 stick butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
8 oz. of high quality dark chocolate
To make filling: Melt chocolate on 1/2 power in microwave for 45 seconds at a time until melted. Be SURE NOT to burn the chocolate. It burns easily. Set chocolate aside and allow it to cool a little. While it is cooling, with a mixer, beat together the cream cheese, butter and sugar. Continue beating and add in 1 egg at a time. Beat until completely smooth. Beat in vanilla. Continue to mix and slowly pour in chocolate. Continue mixing until the chocolate is completely mixed in.
To Bake: Pour filling into prepared Oreo crust. Place spring form pan on a cookie sheet. Bake cheesecake at 275 degrees for 25 minutes.
Allow to cool completely and then refrigerate. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving. Top with whipped cream if desired.
