In a medium bowl, combine the Oreo fine crumbs with melted butter until they’re fully mixed.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a parchment paper-lined, 9-inch springform pan in an even layer and place it in the fridge to chill while you make the filling.
Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it simmers (be careful not to let it boil). Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth and well-mixed, creating a ganache. Set aside to cool for about 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract, beating until the cheesecake mixture is light and fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Use a stand mixer or hand mixer with the whisk attachment.
Slowly mix the cooled ganache into the cream cheese mixture until combined. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, ensuring it’s smooth and airy.
Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled Oreo crust, smoothing the surface with an offset spatula. Let the cheesecake set in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight.
About an hour before serving, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it begins to simmer. Pour it over the chopped chocolate in a medium bowl and let it rest for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth. Refrigerate the ganache, stirring every 5-10 minutes, until it thickens to a frosting-like consistency.
Spread the ganache over the top of the cheesecake base and top with chocolate curls. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Once the cheesecake has fully set, remove it from the springform pan, slice, and indulge!
