how to make Creamy Oreo Cheesecake

Ingredients:

  • 20 Oreos, finely crushed (for the crust)
  • 60 g unsalted butter, melted (for the crust)
  • 3 cups cream cheese, softened (for the filling)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for the filling)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (for the filling)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (for the filling)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (for the filling)
  • 3 large eggs (for the filling)
  • 3 tablespoons flour or cornstarch (for the filling)
  • 20 Oreos, crushed (for the filling)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for the whipped cream)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the whipped cream)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for the whipped cream)
  • 2–3 Oreos, finely crushed (for the whipped cream)
  • Mini Oreos, for garnish

Directions:

  1. Prepare the crust: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter. Press firmly into the base of the pan and bake for 5–8 minutes. Allow to cool completely.

  2. Prepare the filling: Reduce oven temperature to 140°C (280°F). Beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth. In another bowl, whisk eggs with sour cream and add to the cream cheese mixture. Gradually mix in flour or cornstarch and fold in crushed Oreos. Pour over the cooled crust and tap to release air bubbles.

  3. Bake the cheesecake: Bake for approximately 1 hour. Leave cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1–2 hours. Refrigerate for at least 5 hours or overnight.

  4. Prepare the Oreo whipped cream: Whip heavy cream, vanilla, and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold in crushed Oreos.

  5. Assemble and serve: Run a knife around the edges of the cheesecake, remove the springform ring, pipe Oreo whipped cream around the edges, and garnish with mini Oreos. Serve chilled.

tips to make Creamy Oreo Cheesecake

  • Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.
  • Avoid overmixing the filling once you add the eggs; this helps prevent cracks.
  • For a richer flavor, let the cheesecake sit in the fridge overnight before serving.
  • Use a water bath while baking to ensure even cooking and reduce the chances of cracks.

variation

You can switch things up by using different types of cookies for the crust or by adding flavored extracts like mint or almond to the filling. You can also top the cheesecake with chocolate or caramel sauce for a delicious twist!

FAQs

  1. Can I use reduced-fat cream cheese?
    Yes, but the texture and richness may be slightly different. Full-fat cream cheese gives the best results.

  2. How do I know when my cheesecake is done?
    It should be slightly jiggly in the center but set around the edges. It will firm up as it cools in the fridge.

  3. Can I make this cheesecake in advance?
    Absolutely! It can be made a day or two ahead of time and stored in the fridge until you’re ready to serve it.
