½ cup melted butter
Filling:
48 oz cream cheese, softened
2 cups sugar
6 large eggs
½ cup cocoa powder (Dutch-processed for intense flavor)
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp espresso or strong coffee (enhances chocolate richness)

Topping:
1 cup chocolate ganache (made with semi-sweet chocolate and heavy cream)
Optional: edible glitter, dark chocolate shavings, or a light dusting of black cocoa for a magical finish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
Mix Oreo crumbs and melted butter. Press into two springform pans and bake for 8 minutes. Cool.
Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time.
Mix in cocoa powder, vanilla, espresso, and sour cream until well combined.
