Ingredients

Crust

11 chocolate sandwich cookies such as oreos
2 tablespoons melted butter

Filling

2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
12 ounces softened cream cheese
1/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

extra cookie crumbs

Instructions

Get prepped

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Lightly grease the cheesecake pan, set aside

Make the crust

Crush 11 chocolate sandwich cookies either using a food processor, or a zip lock bag and rolling pin. You want them to be fine crumbs.
Combine 2 tablespoons melted butter and cookie crumbs, then add to the cheesecake pan wells evenly. Press down (a shot glass, or a small bottle) so it is firmly packed.
Bake crust in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool while you make the filling.
Reduce the oven temp to 250°F

Make the cheesecake filling

Melt 2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chipsand set aside
In a mixer, beat 12 ounces softened cream cheese until smooth. Add 1/4 cup white sugar and continue to beat until well mixed.
Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and beat until well mixed (and not lumpy)
Add the previously melted chocolate and 1/4 cup Kahluaand beat until very well blended.

Fill and bake

Fill the cheesecake wells about 3/4 full (can use a ziploc bag with a corner cut off for easy work!)
Bake until the filling just sets - about 25 minutes.

Chill

Cool the pan to room temperature, then put the pan in the fridge to chill thoroughly (about 2-3 hours)

Serve.

Remove from the pan, and garnish with some whipped cream and extra cookie crumbs (or cocoa powder)
Devour.
