Instruction
- Combine the crushed Oreos and melted butter for the crust.
- Press into the bottom of a 9 inch, parchment lined springform pan.
- Place in the fridge or freezer until the filling is ready.
- To make the cheesecake filling, whip together the cream and 3/4 cup sugar until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
- Add in the 1 tbsp sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. Creaming for 1 minute.
- With the mixer still on, slowly add in the cocoa powder and cheesecake flavored pudding mix (just the powder!) until completely incorporated and smooth.
- Add the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and beat until smooth.
- Add in the red food coloring until you've reached your desired color.
- Pour into the crust, spreading until the cheesecake is smooth on top. Place in the fridge.
- Make the Cream Cheese Glaze by combining the butter, cream cheese and powdered sugar until thick and creamy. Slowly add milk to the mixture until you have a glaze that is your preferred thickness.
- Spread over the top of the cheesecake and sprinkle with Oreo crumbs, if desired.
- Refrigerate until serving! For best results, let it chill in the fridge overnight before slicing.
