1. Preheat Oven:

In a bowl, combine Oreo crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Add the granulated sugar and mix until well combined.
Beat in sour cream and vanilla extract.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in cocoa powder and green food coloring until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the crushed Oreos.

Pour the cheesecake batter over 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 from the pan.
6. Prepare the Drip:
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the white chocolate chips and heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
