Ingredients:

For the Crust:
24 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
For Cheesecake Filling:
2 lbs. cream cheese, room temperature
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
4 eggs, room temperature
10 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
For Chocolate Topping:
3/4 cup heavy cream
6 oz. bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions:
 Crust Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan. Mix the finely crushed Oreo cookies with melted butter, press onto the bottom of the pan, and bake for 6 minutes. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
 Cheesecake Filling: Melt the bittersweet chocolate and let it cool slightly. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, then blend in the cocoa powder. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed, followed by the cooled chocolate. Pour this mixture over the crust, smoothing the top, and bake until set, about 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes. Allow to cool, then refrigerate uncovered for at least 8 hours.
 Chocolate Topping: Heat the heavy cream, bittersweet chocolate, and sugar until smooth. Allow to cool slightly, then pour over the chilled cheesecake. Refrigerate until the topping is set. Garnish with chocolate curls if desired.
