SINFUL SNICKERS CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Prepare crust: Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Cover the bottom of a 10-inch spring-form pan tightly with aluminum foil.
• Using a food processor, finely crush all the Oreo cookies.
• Add melted butter, water and sugar to the cookie crumbs and continue using processor until the mixture is well blended.
• Turn this cookie mixture out into the spring-form pan and using your fingers, gently work the cookie mixture until the bottom of the pan is covered with about one inch up on the sides.
• Bake for only 6 or 7 minutes, no longer or the crust will be too hard.
• It is okay if the crust rises a little during the baking-- if this occurs, use the flat bottom of a glass to gently press down and set aside to cool.

• When cream cheese is fluffy, add in one egg and mix well.
• Add second egg and mix well.

• Pour batter onto the crust and spread the mixture out from the middle to all the sides to help it bake evenly.

• It's ok if the middle of the cheesecake is sunk in a little.
• Transfer the cheese cake to a rack and cool while still in the spring-form pan.
• Lay a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the cheesecake and refrigerate (still in spring-form pan) for at least four hours or more- overnight is best.
• Prepare glaze: Melt chocolate chips, butter and only 1/3 of the heavy whipping cream in a double boiler over medium heat until just at the melting stage.
• Remove from heat and stir mixture until smooth.
• (You can use a microwave for this part but ensure the bowl is microwave safe).
• While still warm, stir in remaining heavy whipping cream and mix until well blended.

• Release the spring-form and remove from the cheesecake.
• Place cheesecake on serving dish and pour the chocolate glaze into the shallow crater.
