Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and wrap a 9-inch springform pan in foil to prevent water from leaking.
- Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of the pan and bake for 8-10 minutes. Let cool.
- Beat softened cream cheese until smooth, then mix in sugar, vanilla, cocoa powder, and red food coloring. Whip heavy cream and fold it into the mixture along with sprinkles.
- Lower oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). Pour filling over cooled crust and bake in a water bath for 1 to 1.25 hours.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door ajar for 1 hour, then cool for 2-3 hours on a wire rack.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. Remove from the pan, top with whipped cream, mini Oreos, and sprinkles before serving.
