  • 6 Tablespoons Room Temp Butter
  • 3 Tablespoons Sugar
  • Pinch Of Salt
  • 8 oz Room Temp Cream Cheese
  • 1/3 Cup Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 3 oz Semi-sweet Chocolate
  • 1 Tablespoon Heavy Cream
  • 1/4 Cup Kahlua
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Instant Espresso Powder Dissolved In One Tablespoon Water
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/3 Cup Sour Cream
  • 1/3 Teaspoon Salt

Topping

  • 1 1/4 Cup Sour Cream
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla
  • Pinch Of Salt
  • 3 Tablespoons Water
  • 3 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 1/8 Cup Cocoa Powder

Instructions
 

Cheesecake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Place the Oreos in a blender and blend them into a fine powder. If necessary, add a few at a time depending on the size of the blender.
  • In a bowl, combine the powdered Oreos with the remaining crust ingredients. Mix until well combined, then press evenly into a pie tin.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, beat the cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth. Add the sugar and egg, and beat until fully incorporated.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate and heavy cream. Heat on 50% power for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat as needed, ensuring the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Add the melted chocolate, sour cream, Kahlua, espresso, and salt to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until fully combined.
  • Pour the mixture into the pie crust, leaving about 3/4 inch of space at the top.
  • Bake the pie in a water bath for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is set but still slightly jiggly. The top will puff up but will settle as it cools.
  • Remove the pie from the oven and the water bath. Place on a wire rack to cool for about 30 minutes.

Topping:

  • Prepare the fudge sauce by combining all the ingredients in a small pot. Heat over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens and becomes bubbly. Remove from heat and refrigerate to cool completely.
  • Adjust the oven temperature to 400°F.
  • In a small bowl, combine all the topping ingredients and stir until well mixed.
  • Once the cheesecake has cooled, spread the sour cream topping over it using a rubber spatula.
  • Place the cooled fudge sauce in a pastry bag fitted with a small piping tip, or use a sandwich bag with a small hole cut in the corner. Pipe horizontal lines across the top of the pie. Use a butter knife to drag through the lines lengthwise, creating a decorative design without cutting into the pie.
  • Bake the pie for 8-10 minutes. Remove and place on a wire rack to cool.
  • Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving.
