In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add the granulated sugar and mix well.
Beat in the sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the cocoa powder and red food coloring until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the crushed Oreos.
4. Assemble and Bake:
Pour the cheesecake batter into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly browned.
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
5. Chill the Cheesecake:
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight before removing it from the pan.
