Ingredients
  

FOR THE CHEESECAKES

  • 12 Oreos
  • 4 tbsp. melted butter
  • 1 1/2 8-oz. blocks cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 c. granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp. cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 c. bittersweet chocolate chips melted

FOR THE CHOCOLATE GANACHE

  • 1/4 c. chocolate chips
  • 3 tbsp. heavy cream

FOR THE CHOCOLATE WHIPPED CREAM

  • 3/4 c. heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp. chocolate syrup
  • 1 1.55-oz Hershey’s bar, broken into small pieces, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Line 12 muffin tins with paper liners.
  • Make crust: In a large resealable plastic bag or a food processor fitted with a metal blade, crush or blend Oreos until fine crumbs form. Transfer to a bowl and pour in melted butter. Stir until crumbs are completely coated and moistened. Press about 1 tablespoon of crumb mixture into the bottom of each liner.
  • Make cheesecake: In a large bowl using a hand mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment), beat cream cheese, sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt until light and fluffy. Add eggs; beat until well combined. Fold in melted chocolate.
  • Pour cheesecake filling over crust in prepared liners. Bake cheesecakes until only slightly jiggly in the center, 12 to 14 minutes.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan and then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour.
  • Make chocolate ganache: Once cheesecakes are cold, add chocolate chips and heavy cream to a microwave-safe dish. Microwave in 10-second intervals until chocolate is melted; stir until smooth and creamy. Spread about 1 tablespoon chocolate sauce on top of each cheesecake. Return to refrigerator to let chocolate sauce set, about 10 more minutes.
  • Make chocolate whipped cream: In a large bowl, beat heavy cream with chocolate syrup just until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Top each cheesecake with chocolate whipped cream and garnish with a piece of chocolate.
