Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and wrap a 9-inch springform pan with aluminum foil.
  2. Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs, mix with melted butter, and press into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes and let cool.
  3. Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add sugar, vanilla, cocoa powder, and red food coloring until fully blended.
  4. Gently fold in the whipped cream, and mix in any festive sprinkles.
  5. Reduce oven to 325°F (160°C), prepare a water bath, and bake the cheesecake for 1 to 1.25 hours.
  6. Cool gradually in the oven for 1 hour, then let cool on the counter for 2-3 hours before refrigerating for at least 6-8 hours.
  7. Remove the sides of the springform pan, top with whipped cream and garnishes, then slice and serve.
