Servings:

Combine the crushed Oreos and melted butter for the crust.
Press into the bottom of a 9 inch, parchment lined springform pan.
Place in the fridge or freezer until the filling is ready.
To make the cheesecake filling, whip together the cream and 3/4 cup sugar until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix together the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
Add in the 1 tbsp sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. Creaming for 1 minute.
With the mixer still on, slowly add in the cocoa powder and cheesecake flavored pudding mix (just the powder!) until completely incorporated and smooth.
Add the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and beat until smooth.
Add in the red food coloring until you've reached your desired color.
Pour into the crust, spreading until the cheesecake is smooth on top. Place in the fridge.
Make the Cream Cheese Glaze by combining the butter, cream cheese and powdered sugar until thick and creamy. Slowly add milk to the mixture until you have a glaze that is your preferred thickness.
Spread over the top of the cheesecake and sprinkle with Oreo crumbs, if desired.
Refrigerate until serving! For best results, let it chill in the fridge overnight before slicing.
