Scale

- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 32 oz cream cheese, softened (907g)
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
- 1/2 cup sour cream (119g)
- 1 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 20 Oreo cookies, quartered (230g) for the filling
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (170g) for the ganache
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (119g) for the ganache
- 1 cup heavy cream (237g) for optional whipped cream topping
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar for optional whipped cream topping
- 1 tsp vanilla extract for optional whipped cream topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Crush 32 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and reserve 1/4 cup for topping.
- Mix the remaining cookie crumbs with melted butter and press the mixture into a 9-inch springform pan, halfway up the sides. Bake for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Mix in the granulated sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract.
- Fold in the quartered Oreo cookies.
- Pour the filling into the baked crust.
- Bake for 1 hour or until the top looks slightly dry and the center is wobbly.
- Turn off the oven and cool the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 30 minutes.
- Cool completely on a wire rack for 2-3 hours, then refrigerate for at least 5 hours or overnight.
- For the ganache, heat the cream until simmering and pour it over the chocolate chips. Let it sit for 3 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Pour the ganache over the cheesecake and refrigerate to set.
- For optional whipped cream, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread half on top of the cheesecake, piping swirls around the edges with the rest.
- Sprinkle the reserved Oreo crumbs on top.
Notes
Let the cheesecake sit in the fridge overnight for the best flavor. Store in an airtight container for 5 to 7 days, or freeze for longer storage.
