Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1⁄2 cups (250 g) crushed Oreo cookies
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 32 oz (908 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 1⁄3 cups (267 g) granulated sugar
- 1⁄2 cup (42 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup (227 g) sour cream, room temperature
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1–2 oz red food coloring
- 4 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
- 4 oz (113 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1⁄4 cup (56 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups (260 g) confectioners’ sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Wrap the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with aluminum foil.
- Combine the Oreo crumbs and melted butter, then press this mixture into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then allow it to cool.
- Lower the oven temperature to 300°F. Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add the sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until well combined.
- Add the sour cream, vinegar, vanilla, and red food coloring, mixing until smooth. Gently stir in the eggs.
- Pour this batter into the cooled crust. Place the pan in a roasting pan and fill it with boiling water halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
- Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the water for an additional hour. Allow it to cool completely afterward.
- Beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until creamy, then add the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla, beating until smooth.
- Spread the frosting over the cooled cheesecake. Serve with whipped cream or fresh berries if desired.
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for easier mixing, and do not overmix the batter to keep the cheesecake fluffy.
