Whiskey Infused Chocolate Cheesecake with Oreo Base and Whipped Cream Topping

Ingredients:

• 24 Oreo cookies, crushed
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 3 containers (8 oz) Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
• 1/4 cup whiskey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreos and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
3. In a standing mixer, beat the Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, then beat in the melted chocolate chips, whiskey, vanilla extract, and salt.
4. Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
5. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
6. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
7. In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cheesecake.
8. Enjoy!
