Oreo Cheesecake Recipe
Oreo Cheesecake Recipe
This Oreo Cheesecake Recipe bakes a thick, creamy filling studded with chewy cookie chunks over a crisp crust made from whole Oreos. A low 325°F oven and a slow cool down inside the oven keep the top smooth and crack free, with no water bath needed. Finished with fresh whipped cream and cookie halves, this homemade oreo cheesecake slices cleanly and tastes even better the next day.
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter and press into a 9 inch springform pan.
- Bake the crust at 325°F for 8 minutes, then cool.
- Beat the cream cheese and sugar on low for 2 minutes until smooth.
- Beat in the sour cream, vanilla, and salt, then the eggs one at a time on low.
- Fold in the chopped Oreos and pour the batter over the crust.
- Bake at 325°F for 50 to 55 minutes until the edges are set and the center wobbles.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door, and leave the cake inside for 1 hour.
- Cool 30 minutes on the counter, then chill at least 6 hours.
- Top with whipped cream and garnish with Oreo halves.
Keep the oven door closed for the first 40 minutes and cool the cake slowly in the turned off oven; sudden temperature changes are the main cause of cracks.
Notes
- Soften the cream cheese for a full hour so the filling blends without lumps.
- Mix on low speed to avoid trapping air in the batter.
- Chill at least 6 hours, or overnight, for clean slices.
- Add the whipped cream and garnish just before serving.
