Chocolate Oreo Italian Meringue Cheesecake

Now you probably wonder if you read the title correctly.. did she say: cheesecake made with Italian Meringue? I did indeed :-)

 Ahora usted probablemente se preguntará si leyó el título correctamente .. Dice ella: cheesecake hecho con Merengue Italiano? Sí lo dije :-)


I´ve been thinking of ways to make my non bake Cheesecakes set without using gelatin, so I´ve used whipped cream and it works quite well but needs setting overnight, I used ganache, works ok too and this time I tried using Italian Meringue.. :-) Verdict: all 3 these methods need to set overnight in the fridge (especially during summer) to get the results needed but they work really well :-)

 He estado pensando en maneras de hacer mis Cheesecakes sin hornear ni usar gelatina, así que he usado nata batida y funciona bastante bien, pero necesita reposar durante la noche, usé ganache, también funciona bien y esta vez he intentado usar merengue italiano ..:-) Veredicto: los 3 métodos tienen que reposar toda la noche en la nevera (especialmente en verano) para obtener los resultados necesarios pero funciona bien :-)

I´m a huge fan of whipped meringue and folding it into a delicious Chocolate Oreo cheesecake batter is delightful to say the least, I needed to stop myself from eating the whole bowl before I even had time to pour it into the mold for setting :-)

 Soy un gran fan del merengue batido y mezclándolo con una deliciosa masa de cheesecake y chocolate Oreo cheesecake es una maravilla como mínimo. Tuve que parar de comer todo el recipiente antes de que yo tuviera tiempo de verterlo en el molde para reposar : - )

To get the Oreo flavour into this cheesecake, I split the Oreos with a knife, removed the white centres.. which I later added to the cheesecake mix. Crushed the dark cookie part in my blender and used it for the base of my cheesecake.

 Para conseguir el sabor de Oreo en este cheesecake, separé los Oreos con un cuchillo, quité el centro blanco.. el cual añadí al cheesecake más tarde. Molí la parte oscura de la galleta en mi licuadora y lo utilicé para la base de mi cheesecake.

INGREDIENTS:
(makes 1 x 24cm / 9 inch mold)
  • 2 x Ful lCream cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
  • ½ cup Sifted cocoa powder
  • ½ cup Sifted Icing Sugar
  • Pre-made Italian Meringue  Click here to see my Recipe
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla essence
  • 3 packs Oreos (for the crust)
  • 75g Melted Butter (for the crust)
  • 1 pack Mini Oreos (for decoration)
  • Pre-made Whipped Cream (for decoration)  Click here to see my Recipe
  • 75g Melted dark chocolate (for decoration)
METHOD:
Pre-prepare your mold (I used melted butter) & pre-heat your oven to 175ºC.. Separate your Oreo cookies with sharp knife and leave the white part to the side (we will use this in the Cheesecake mix). Crush the cookie part until fine and mix with the melted butter to form a base for your Cheesecake. Press down into the mold and make sure the base is even. Bake for 5-10 minutes. Take it out the oven and let it cool.
In your stand mixer, cream your cream cheese and when soft add your sifted cocoa powder and icing sugar. When well combined add the white parts of the Oreos, blend well. Lastly add the vanilla essence.
Fold the Italian Meringue into the mixture with a spatula. Make sure to do this slowly and with wide circles to ensure the air remains in the mixture.  Scoop the mixture onto the cooled Oreo base and let set in the fridge overnight.
When the cheesecake has set properly, remove it by running a sharp knife dipped into hot water around the sides before removing it from the mold. Decorate with whipped cream, mini Oreos and drizzle with melted dark chocolate (cut in pieces and melt in microwave for 2 minutes at 30 second intervals until melted).
This Cheesecake is to be ENJOYED!
