Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups (250 g) Oreo cookie crumbs
- 5 tbsp (70 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp red food coloring
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 3 (8 oz / 225 g each) blocks cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- Whipped cream for garnish
- Cherry topping or drizzle of raspberry sauce for garnish
- Extra Oreo cookies for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, mix the Oreo crumbs and melted butter, then press the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes and let it cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, mix the egg, buttermilk, oil, vanilla, food coloring, and vinegar. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, then pour the batter over the cooled crust. Bake for 20-25 minutes and let it cool completely.
- Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). Beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in the sour cream and vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour this mixture over the red velvet layer.
- Wrap the springform pan in aluminum foil and place it in a larger pan filled with hot water. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the edges are set, but the center still jiggles slightly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
- Refrigerate for 4-6 hours or overnight. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream, cherry topping or raspberry sauce, and extra Oreo cookies.
- Slice and serve. Enjoy your delicious creation!
