Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and wrap it in aluminum foil.
In a food processor, combine Oreo crumbs and melted butter; press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes; cool.
Lower oven to 325°F (160°C). For the red velvet layer, beat one block of cream cheese until smooth. Mix in sugar, sour cream, vanilla, cocoa powder, and red food coloring. Add eggs one at a time. Pour over cooled crust.
In another bowl, beat the second block of cream cheese until smooth; add sugar, sour cream, heavy cream, then eggs one at a time. Pour over red velvet layer.
Place springform pan inside a larger roasting pan filled with hot water halfway up the sides. Bake for about 60-75 minutes until edges are set.
Cool gradually in the oven with door ajar for an hour; then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight before serving.
