Prepare the base by crushing Oreo cookies and mixing with melted butter until combined.

Press the mixture into the bottom of cupcake liners in a muffin tin to form a crust.

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

Add sour cream, sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla to the cream cheese and mix well.

Melt the semi-sweet chocolate and add it to the mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in each cupcake liner, filling them about 3/4 full.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.

Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecakes inside for 10 minutes to cool gradually.

Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours.

Prepare whipped cream by whipping double cream with powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla until soft peaks form.

Once cheesecakes are chilled, top each with a dollop of ganache or chocolate sauce and a swirl of whipped cream.

Garnish with chocolate coated pretzels before serving.
