• Cherry filling: Garnish each slice with a fresh cherry or a dollop of extra cherry sauce for added flavor and variety.
• Whipped cream: A dollop of whipped cream on each slice adds a light, airy contrast to the dense, rich layers of cheesecake.

Ingredients:

• 200g Oreo cookies (filling removed)
• 60 g melted butter
• 450 g cream cheese
• 200 g dark chocolate, melted with 100 ml cream
• 150 g frozen cherries
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in a little water
• 3 sheets of gelatin (5g)

Recipe:

1. Prepare the crust: Crush the Oreo cookies into crumbs and mix with the melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 7-inch cheesecake pan to create the crust. Chill in the refrigerator to set.
2. Chocolate Cheese Layer: Mix the melted chocolate with the cream and cream cheese and Oreo cream. Spread this mixture on the cooled crust and return to the refrigerator.
3. Cherry filling: Cook the frozen cherries with the sugar in a saucepan. Stir in the dissolved cornstarch and cook for a few minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat, add the hydrated gelatin leaves and stir until dissolved. Let the cherry mixture cool slightly, then pour it over the chocolate layer.
4. Coldness: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least two hours to set completely.
5. Final touch: Once set, cut the cheesecake into slices and dip each piece in additional melted chocolate for a decadent finish.
