Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 25 Oreo cookies, crushed finely
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 24 oz (680 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) sour cream or heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 10 Oreo cookies, chopped (for folding into filling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Begin by crushing the Oreo cookies finely and mixing them with melted butter until thoroughly combined. Press this mixture firmly into the base of a springform pan or individual molds to form an even crust. Chill briefly to set while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in sour cream or heavy cream and vanilla extract, ensuring a silky texture and deep flavor.
  3. Add Oreo Pieces: Gently fold the chopped Oreo cookies into the cream cheese mixture to distribute cookie chunks evenly throughout the filling for added crunch.
  4. Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes, until the edges are set but the center still slightly jiggles. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for one hour to cool gradually and prevent cracking.
  5. Cool and Refrigerate: Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This setting period enhances the texture and allows the flavors to meld beautifully before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients like softened cream cheese and room-temp eggs for a smooth, lump-free batter.
  • Mix just enough to combine ingredients to prevent excess air that can cause cracking.
  • Baking the cheesecake in a water bath helps keep it moist and crack-free.
  • Crush Oreos finely for the crust to create a firm base that holds together well.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake long enough for proper setting and flavor development before serving.
