Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust
- 24 Oreo cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling
- 24 oz (680g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream or heavy cream
- 10 Oreo cookies, chopped into chunks
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Crush Oreo cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Melt the butter and mix it thoroughly with the crushed Oreos to create a sticky and flavorful base. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust, then chill it in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Make the Creamy Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue beating until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing fully after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream or heavy cream to achieve a silky texture. Gently fold in the chopped Oreo chunks to distribute them evenly throughout the filling.
- Bake and Cool: Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly, approximately 50–60 minutes. Turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and let the cheesecake cool gradually inside to prevent cracks. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to fully set.
- Garnish and Serve: After chilling, garnish the cheesecake with your favorite toppings such as whipped cream, crushed Oreo cookies, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve to enjoy the creamy and crunchy texture.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs for a smooth batter without lumps.
- Press the Oreo crust firmly into the pan to prevent crumbling when slicing.
- Bake using a water bath or place a pan of water in the oven for extra moisture to avoid cracks.
- Do not overbake; remove cheesecake when edges are set but center has a slight wobble.
- Chill cheesecake overnight for the best flavor development and firm texture.
