Description
A delicious cheesecake combining the flavors of classic Oreos with a creamy cheesecake base, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups crushed Oreo cookies
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 packages (32 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
- Crushed Oreo cookies for garnish
- Whipped cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos and melted butter until well mixed. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even crust. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and continue mixing until well combined.
- Mix in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Fold in the sour cream and crushed Oreos until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled Oreo crust. Bake in a water bath for about 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door ajar for about 1 hour.
- After cooling, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set fully.
- Before serving, garnish with crushed Oreo cookies and a dollop of whipped cream on top.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for the best texture. Avoid overmixing to keep the cheesecake light. A water bath helps prevent cracks.
