Preparation

Step 1

for the crust
Preheat oven to 325.
Lightly grease a round spring form pan.
Combine crushed oreos and melted butter. Press into the spring form pan and about 1/4-1/2 inch up the sides of the pan. Place in the fridge.

for the chocolate cheesecake
In a stand mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth and there are no lumps. Beat in eggs, sugar, and cocoa until creamy. Lastly beat in creamer (or whipping cream) and vanilla. Pour into oreo cookie crust and bake at 325 for about 40 minutes. It shouldn't be completely set yet. Turn off the oven, open the oven door and let the cheesecake continue to bake in the cooling oven for 20-30 minutes or until set. Remove from oven and let cool completely in the fridge.

ice cream layer
Scoop ice cream into a large bowl and stir together until softened. Spread over the chilled cheescake in an even layer. Place in the freezer until ice cream has firmed up again or ready to serve.
