Perfect Oreo Cheesecake Recipe

There’s no denying that this recipe by Simply Home Cooked is the best Oreo cheesecake I have ever had. It’s even better than most of the Oreo cheesecakes I have ordered in cafes, bakeries, and restaurants. The crunchy and chocolatey crust is perfect with the rich and creamy cheesecake. It’s so good that one slice won’t probably be enough.

Easy Oreo Cheesecake Ingredients

For the crust:

• 35 Oreo cookies
• 5 tablespoons of unsalted butter (melted)

For the cheesecake:

• 4 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese (softened)
• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 cup of sour cream
• 3 large eggs
• 1 egg yolk
• 12 Oreos (roughly chopped)

How to Make Oreo Cheesecake

Step 1:

Make the crust. Get 35 whole Oreo cookies and place them in a food processor. Pulse on high speed until they turn into fine crumbs.

Add 5 tablespoons of unsalted melted butter to the fine crumbs and pulse until well incorporated. Transfer to a 9-inch springform pan and evenly press on the bottom and up to the sides. Place it on a baking sheet and bake at 350F for 8 minutes.

Step 2:

In the bowl of your stand mixer, add 4 (8-ounce) packages of room-temperature cream cheese and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Using the paddle attachment, mix on high speed for about 5 minutes, scraping the sides every other minute. Next, add 1 cup of sour cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix on high speed for 2 to 3 minutes. Bring the speed to low. Add 3 eggs and 1 egg yolk (one at a time).

Step 3:

Roughly chop 12 Oreos with a knife and add to the cheesecake batter. Mix on low speed until combined. Do not overmix it.

Step 4:

Preheat your oven to 250F and pour the batter into the crust. Bake on the center rack for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Turn the oven off and let it rest until it completely cools down. Do not open the oven for a few hours as it can cause the cheesecake to crack.

Step 5:

Once the cake has cooled to room temperature, refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours. Decorate it however you like. To make the chocolate ganache, pour 1/2 cup of boiling heavy cream over 8 ounces of white melting chocolate wafers. Mix until smooth, then let it cool and thicken. Pour over the cheesecake.
