Ingredients

Cheesecake filing

18 OREO cookies crushed
2 tablespoons butter melted
32 oz cream cheese four 8-oz blocks, softened
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
4 eggs

Ganache topping

6 oz semi sweet chocolate chips
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup white chocolate chips
Assorted Lindor truffles

Instructions

Making the cheesecake

Start by preheating your oven to 300 degrees F. Spray your pie pan (best choice is a 10-inch springform pan) with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium size bowl, crumble the cookies into small pieces for sand-like texture. Then, add the melted butter to the cookie crumbs and mix until well combined. Next, press into the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
Then, in a separate large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Then, add the melted chocolate chips to the cream cheese mixture and blend together well.
Now, add in the eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition until combined.
Lastly, pour the pie filling over your prepared crust.
Proceed to bake in the oven for 1hour and 5 minutes until the center is almost set.
When the pie is finished baking, run a knife along the rim of the pan to loosen the cake and then let it cool completely before removing the rim.

Ganache topping

First, heat up the heavy cream in a small pot on the stove or in a bowl in the microwave until just simmering.
Next, pour the hot cream over the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a bowl and cover. Let this sit for 2 minutes and melt together. Stir until smooth.
Then, pour the chocolate and cream mixture over the top of the cheesecake.
Now it is time to chill! Place the cheesecake in the fridge for 4 hours to chill and set.
Before serving, melt the white chocolate chips in a small bowl in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
Then, drizzle the white chocolate over the top of the cheesecake for a dramatic affect that gives the cheesecake a very official look.
Add your assorted chocolate truffles to the cheesecake for a final touch.
Slice, serve and enjoy!
