03 - 450 g cream cheese, softened
04 - 200 g granulated sugar
05 - 30 g unsweetened cocoa powder
06 - 3 large eggs
07 - 120 ml sour cream

09 - 1 tbsp vanilla extract

→ For the Topping

12 - 240 ml heavy whipping cream
13 - 2 tbsp powdered sugar
14 - 6–8 crushed Oreo cookies

# Instrucțiuni:

01 - Preheat your oven to 160°C. Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
02 - Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or smashing in a sealed bag with a rolling pin. Combine crumbs with melted butter and press evenly into the bottom of the springform pan. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
03 - Beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy in a mixing bowl. Add granulated sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until fully incorporated. Beat in eggs one by one. Add sour cream, heavy cream, vanilla extract, vinegar, and blue food coloring. Mix until smooth and color is achieved.
04 - Pour the filling over the crust, smoothing the top. Wrap the pan with foil and place it in a roasting pan. Add hot water to the roasting pan halfway up the pan sides for a water bath. Bake for 60-70 minutes until the center is slightly jiggly and edges are set.
05 - Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
06 - Whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the cheesecake. Sprinkle crushed Oreos on top for garnish.
07 - Carefully remove the springform pan and transfer the cheesecake to a plate. Slice and serve chilled.

# Note utile:

01 - For a more vibrant blue, use gel food coloring. Add chocolate or white chocolate ganache for extra indulgence. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
