How to Make Oreo Cheesecake

Ingredients:

  • 300 g Oreo biscuits without filling or black vanilla biscuits, crushed
  • 100 g (7 tbsp) unsalted or salted butter, melted
  • 750 g (3⅓ cups) cream cheese, softened at room temperature
  • 200 ml sour cream
  • 150 g (¾ cup) caster sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 12 – 15 Oreo cookies, quartered
  • 360 g (1½ cups) heavy or whipping cream
  • 100 g Oreo biscuits without filling or black vanilla biscuits, crushed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup icing sugar
  • 12 Oreo cookies
  • Some crushed cookie crumbs

Directions:

  1. Prepare the Water Bath: Preheat the oven to 160°C (325°F). Place a shallow baking tray with water below the oven rack. Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Make the Cookie Crust: Crush 35 Oreos or 300 g of Oreo biscuits, then mix with melted butter. Press this mixture into the prepared springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
  3. Make the Cheesecake: In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs one by one, mixing well after each. Gently fold in the quartered Oreos. Pour this mixture over the crust and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Once done, let it cool in the oven for an hour, then refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
  4. Make the Oreo Whipped Cream: In another bowl, whip heavy cream, vanilla, and icing sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold in half of the crushed Oreos.
  5. Frost the Cheesecake: Spread the whipped cream over the cooled cheesecake. You can pipe plain whipped cream on top, and finish with whole Oreos and some cookie crumbs for decoration.
  6. Chill before Serving: Chill the decorated cheesecake for 15 minutes before serving. Slice cleanly and enjoy!

How to Serve Oreo Cheesecake

Oreo Cheesecake can be served directly from the fridge, where it is nice and chilled. For an added touch, serve each slice with extra whipped cream or chocolate sauce. This delightful dessert pairs well with fresh berries or a scoop of ice cream.

How to Store Oreo Cheesecake

Store any leftover Oreo Cheesecake in the refrigerator. Keep it covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container to maintain its freshness. It’s best enjoyed within 3-5 days, but it can last up to a week.

Tips to Make Oreo Cheesecake

  • Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps.
  • Don’t skip the chilling time; it helps the cheesecake set properly.
  • For extra flavor, you can add a little bit of salt to the crust mixture.
  • Experiment with toppings; crushed nuts or caramel drizzles can add a nice twist.

Variation

If you want to switch things up, try adding flavors like peppermint extract for a holiday version, or mix in some chocolate chips to the filling for added texture. You can also use gluten-free Oreo cookies for a gluten-free version of this cheesecake.

FAQs

1. Can I freeze Oreo Cheesecake?
Yes, you can freeze Oreo Cheesecake! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in an airtight container. Thaw it overnight in the fridge before serving.

2. Can I use low-fat cream cheese?
Yes, using low-fat cream cheese is a good option, but it may slightly change the texture of the cheesecake.

3. How can I make my cheesecake smoother?
Make sure to mix the ingredients on low speed and beat the eggs in one at a time. Avoid over-mixing, as this can incorporate too much air and crack the cheesecake during baking.
