Description

This creamy Oreo cheesecake is a rich, velvety dessert loaded with cookies and cream flavor. Easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser, it’s perfect for birthdays, potlucks, or any time you need a decadent treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo cookies (about 250g) – finely crushed
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 packages (24 oz) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 12 Oreo cookies (about 125g) – coarsely chopped
  • 6 Oreo cookies – halved or crushed, for garnish (optional)
  • Whipped cream, for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Crush 24 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by hand.
  3. Combine Oreo crumbs with melted butter until mixture resembles wet sand.
  4. Press crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
  5. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth (about 2 minutes).
  6. Add granulated sugar and mix until combined.
  7. Blend in sour cream and vanilla extract until creamy.
  8. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed just until combined.
  9. Fold in coarsely chopped Oreos with a spatula.
  10. Pour batter over cooled crust and tap pan gently to release air bubbles.
  11. Bake at 325°F for 55-65 minutes, until edges are set and center jiggles slightly. Cover loosely with foil if browning too quickly.
  12. Turn off oven and let cheesecake sit inside with door slightly open for 1 hour.
  13. Run a knife around the edge to loosen, then cool completely at room temperature.
  14. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  15. Before serving, top with halved or crushed Oreos and whipped cream if desired.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients and avoid overmixing once eggs are added. Chill overnight for creamiest texture. Gluten-free Oreos and dairy-free substitutes can be used for dietary adaptations. If cracks appear, cover with extra Oreos and whipped cream.
