Ingredients
Oreo cookie crumbs
1.5 cups (Crushed)
Melted butter
3 tablespoons (Melted)
Cream cheese
24 ounces (Softened (3 packages))
Sweetened condensed milk
14 ounces (Canned)
Eggs
3 (Large)

2 tablespoons (Liquid)
Chocolate chips

Flour

2 tablespoons (Packed)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
2
In a medium bowl, combine the Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter until evenly mixed. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust.
3
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it's smooth and fluffy. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, mixing until well combined. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
4
In a small bowl, toss 1/2 cup of chocolate chips with the flour to prevent them from sinking. Gently fold the flour-coated chocolate chips into the cheesecake mixture until evenly distributed.
5
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan and spread it into an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and crack the door, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the oven for about an hour.
7
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for the best texture.
8
Prepare the topping by beating the sour cream and brown sugar together in a bowl. Spread the mixture evenly over the chilled cheesecake and return it to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
9
Cool completely before drizzling with melted semi-sweet chocolate. Garnish with fresh strawberries and serve slices with whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
