There’s no question about it; if you’re a chocolate lover, you MUST make this Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake. Make it for the holidays. Make it for a birthday. Make it for your coworkers. Just find an excuse to make it! After one bite of this delicious dessert my husband declared it his new birthday cake request. It’s rich, decadent, and insanely delicious.
The recipe starts with a simple homemade Oreo crust. Put 24 whole Oreo cookies into a food processor (or use a ziplock bag and a rolling pin) and pulse them into crumbs. Mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter and press everything into a pie plate to make a crust. No need to bake it at this point–just put it in the fridge while you make the cheesecake filling.
The cheesecake filling consists of simple ingredients and comes together easily. Spread the smooth filling into your Oreo crust and bake the cheesecake until the edges are set and the center is slightly firm (it can be a little soft, just not jiggly). It will set up even more as it cools.
Once the cheesecake is completely cooled, add a layer of chocolate mouse, and then a simple chocolate ganache on top. There are multiple steps to this recipe, but each are simple.
Make ahead tips: This is a great recipe to make in steps, if you don’t want to do it all in one day, or you can make the entire cake 1-3 days in advance and store it in the fridge.
