Method
 

Preparing the Cheesecake
  1. Preheat oven to 325℉ (160℃). In a food processor, blend the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs, then mix in the melted unsalted butter. Press mixture into a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 11 minutes, then let cool.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in hot cocoa mix, cocoa powder, sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time.
  3. Pour cheesecake filling over cooled crust. Use a water bath method to prevent cracks. Bake for 75-85 minutes until edges are set.
  4. Turn off oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 30 minutes. Then chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
  5. Beat cold heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla until medium peaks form. Spread on top of the chilled cheesecake and garnish as desired.
