Ingredients
Scale
For the Drip:
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
For Decoration:
- Mini Oreos
- Whipped cream
- Sprinkles
- Purple velvet cake crumbs
For the Cheesecake:
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup crushed Oreos
- 1 teaspoon purple food coloring
For the Crust:
- 2 cups Oreo crumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a medium bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and melted butter. Press this mixture into the base of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Gradually add sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract, beating until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully blended before adding the next. Stir in cocoa powder, purple food coloring, and fold in crushed Oreos.
- Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake batter onto the cooled crust and spread evenly. Bake for 60-70 minutes. The center should be set but with a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside, with the door slightly open.
- Chill the Cheesecake: Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.
- Prepare the White Chocolate Drip: Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat, add white chocolate chips, and stir until fully melted and smooth.
- Decorate the Cheesecake: Drizzle the white chocolate mixture over the edges of the chilled cheesecake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Notes
- For a more intense purple color, you can adjust the amount of purple food coloring to your liking.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.
