Print Recipe

Oreo Cheesecake is a luscious dessert combining a smooth and creamy cream cheese filling with crunchy chunks of Oreo cookies, all sitting on a rich and buttery Oreo cookie crust. This dessert perfectly balances the iconic chocolate and cream Oreo flavor with a velvety cheesecake texture, making it an irresistible treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 24 Oreos (approximately 1 1/2 cups crushed)
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted

Filling

  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 10–12 Oreos, chopped into pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oreo Crust: Crush the Oreo cookies finely and combine them with melted butter. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a springform pan to form a solid, flavorful, and crunchy crust base.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: Beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently to create a silky batter. Then blend in sour cream and vanilla extract to deepen flavor and enhance texture.
  3. Fold in Oreo Pieces: Gently fold chopped Oreo cookie pieces into the cheesecake batter, ensuring even distribution to provide crunch throughout the filling.
  4. Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the prepared crust and bake at 325°F (163°C) for about 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center remains slightly jiggly for a dense yet creamy finish.
  5. Cool and Chill: Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to achieve perfect firmness and flavor development before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs for easier mixing and a smoother batter.
  • Mix only until combined to avoid excess air bubbles that can cause cracks during baking.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath to maintain moisture and minimize surface cracking.
  • Use a springform pan for easy removal and clean edges.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture and flavor.
  • Leftover cheesecake can be refrigerated up to 5 days, or frozen up to 2 months wrapped tightly.
  • Avoid microwaving leftovers as it may ruin the texture; instead, let sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving.
