Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake Steals the Show.This is one of my favorite desserts to make for a special occasion because I can make it in advance, and everyone raves about it! It’s as beautiful as it is delicious and I can’t wait for you to try it! Talk about a triple threat with three layers of decadence in every bite.
I first shared this recipe in 2017, adapted from Mel’s Kitchen Cafe’s cheesecake “pie” version. As we’ve enjoyed it over the years I’ve adapted it to bake as a traditional cheesecake in a springform pan, which we prefer, with higher cheesecake to mousse ratio.
Oreo Crust: Add whole Oreo cookies to a food processor and pulse until very fine crumbs. Stir in the melted butter. Pour mixture into a 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a measuring spoon to press it firmly into the bottom and half way up the sides of the pan. Refrigerate while you make the cheesecake filling.
Cheesecake: Cream together the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until well blended. Add the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix. Blend in the sour cream. Spread the filling over the Oreo cookie crust in an even layer.
Bake at 325 degrees F for 45-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly firm (it may jiggle just slightly). Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. (No need to bake in a water-bath, since we will add a mousse and ganache on top).
Mousse: Add chocolate chips to a heatproof bowl. Heat ½ cup cream in a microwave safe bowl until hot. Pour over chocolate chips, and set aside for a few minutes, to allow the chocolate to warm. Then stir until smooth. Allow to cool completely.
Add remaining ½ cream to a bowl and whisk until stiff peaks. Gently fold in to chocolate mixtureSpread the mousse over the top of the cooled cheesecake. Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or overnight.
Ganache: Place chocolate chips in a small bowl. Add butter and cream to a saucepan over medium heat, Bring to a simmer. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Stir in vanilla and powdered sugar. Pour the ganache over the chilled cheesecake. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving
To Make Ahead: his cheesecake has a few different steps, so consider making some ahead. The Oreo crust can be made days in advance, stored in the fridge. Bake the cheesecake layer one day, cover, and refrigerate then continue with the mousse and ganache the next day.
To Store: Keep any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for 1-3 days.
