Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F and grease a 9-inch springform pan. Wrap the outside with foil for a water bath.

- Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add salt, sour cream, heavy cream, vinegar, vanilla, and cocoa powder. Mix on low until combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until blended. Stir in red gel coloring to reach desired shade.
- Pour filling over crust. Place pan in a larger pan with hot water and bake 60–70 minutes, until edges are set and center jiggles slightly.
- Cool in the oven with the door cracked for 1 hour. Refrigerate overnight.
- For ganache, heat cream until steaming, pour over chocolate chips, and stir until smooth. Cool slightly, then pour over cheesecake. Chill 30 minutes.
- Whip cold cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Pipe around edges and top with Oreo halves.
- Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
