Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 24 Oreo Cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons Butter, melted

Filling

  • 24 oz (680g) Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 3 Eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream, whipped
  • 10 Oreo Cookies, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Crush about 24 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and mix with 6 tablespoons of melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even crust layer, then chill in the fridge to set.
  2. Make the Filling: Beat 24 oz softened cream cheese and 1 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add 3 eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Fold in 1 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, and roughly chopped Oreo pieces for texture. Finally, whip in 1 cup heavy cream until the batter is silky.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top gently. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 50-60 minutes until the edges are set but the center still slightly jiggles. This ensures a creamy texture once chilled.
  4. Cool and Chill: Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature for about an hour before covering and refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight. This resting time is crucial for flavors to meld and texture to firm up perfectly.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, decorate the top with additional Oreo cookie halves or crumbs for extra visual appeal and crunch.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature to avoid lumps in the batter.
  • Mix just enough to combine ingredients; overmixing can add air and cause cracking.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath to prevent cracks and promote even cooking.
  • Let cheesecake cool slowly in the oven with the door ajar to avoid sudden temperature changes.
  • Refrigerate overnight to maximize flavor and structure before slicing.
