4 blocks (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened to room temperature

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

# Steps to Cook:
01 -
Place Oreo cookies, including the cream filling, into a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Combine crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated, then press the mixture firmly into the base of an 8- to 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate to set crust.
02 -
In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside for folding into the cheesecake base.
03 -
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy. Incorporate vanilla extract, then gently fold in the whipped cream until mixture is light and fluffy.
04 -
Evenly split the cheesecake base into two bowls. In one, mix cocoa powder and red food coloring until uniformly colored. In the other, fold in the Christmas sprinkles carefully to maintain texture.
05 -
Alternate spoonfuls of red velvet mixture and sprinkle-infused batter over the prepared crust. Using a butter knife or skewer, gently swirl the layers to create a marbled effect.
06 -
Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to firm up.
07 -
Before serving, decorate the top with whipped cream, mini Oreos, and additional Christmas sprinkles. Slice and enjoy.
