Make the crust: Blend the Oreos in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Add melted butter and mix until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Freeze while you prepare the filling.
Melt the chocolate: Use a microwave or a double boiler to melt the chocolate. Let it cool slightly.
Make the filling base: In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, superfine sugar, and cocoa powder mixture until smooth. Pour in the melted chocolate and mix again until creamy.
Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold the freshly whipped cream into the chocolate-cream cheese mixture. This keeps the filling light and fluffy.
Assemble: Remove the crust from the freezer and pour in the cheesecake filling, smoothing the top.
Top it off: Scatter the broken Oreo pieces over the filling. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until set.

Use Full Fat Cream Cheese. Low fat or nonfat cream cheese may become runny when beat and may not set.
For a crispier base, bake the base for 5- 7 minutes on 400F. Once baked, you should chill the crust in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before filling.
Don't over mix. This can result in a super-soft cheesecake. Make sure you use room-temperature cream cheese and mix on a lower speed to avoid breaking the emulsion created by the cream cheese.
To easily remove the chilled cake from the spring-form pan after it's been in the freezer, use a hairdryer on its hot setting and run it all along the pan until the frost is gone.
To keep the Oreos crunchy, add them to the top just before serving. They soften in the fridge as the cheesecake sets, but it's still just as delicious so it's your call.
To easily remove a no-bake cheesecake from a springform pan, just heat the outside of the pan before removing. I do this with a hairdryer. Just run it over the sides until the condensation has dried and no frost appears.
