Ingredients
Scale
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs (about 15 Oreo cookies, crushed)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake filling:
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 10 Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped
For the topping:
- 6 Oreo cookies, crushed
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Make the crust: Combine the Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
- Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Stir in the sour cream and heavy cream until combined. Gently fold in the chopped Oreo cookies.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, leave the door slightly ajar, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. Afterward, transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Top with crushed Oreos: Once the cheesecake is fully chilled, sprinkle the crushed Oreos over the top. Optionally, add whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- Serve: Slice and enjoy this decadent, Oreo-filled cheesecake!
Notes
- For an extra Oreo flavor, add more crushed Oreos to the filling or the crust.
- Make sure the cheesecake is fully chilled before serving for the best texture.
