Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Prepare and line a deep 20 cm (8-inch) springform cake tin.
  • Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor.
  • Stir the melted butter into the crumbs until evenly coated.
  • Firmly press the mixture into the base of the prepared tin.
  • Bake the crust for 10 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (160°C fan) and allow the crust to cool slightly.
  • Melt the dark chocolate in short microwave bursts or over a double boiler. Let cool slightly.
  • Beat the cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition.
  • Add both sugars and mix until combined.
  • Stir in the cocoa powder and vanilla extract.
  • Fold in the cooled melted chocolate.
  • Add the double cream and mix until silky smooth.
  • Gently fold in the fresh raspberries without crushing them completely.
  • Pour the Raspberry Chocolate Cheesecake filling over the baked Oreo crust.
  • Bake for 35 minutes until the edges are set but the center still has a slight wobble.
  • Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
  • Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  • For the topping, gently melt the dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and double cream together until smooth.
  • Spread the chocolate ganache evenly over the chilled cheesecake.
  • Decorate with fresh raspberries, freeze-dried raspberries, and chocolate curls.
  • Chill for another hour before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Add extra fresh raspberries just before serving for maximum freshness.
  • Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
  • For an even richer flavor, use 70% dark chocolate.
  • The cheesecake tastes even better the following day.
