Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 24 Oreo cookies (crushed)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Oreo cookies (crushed, for mixing into the filling)

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Oreo cookies (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
  2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined. Do not overmix. Mix in the sour cream and heavy cream until smooth. Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies.
  3. Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for about 1 hour. Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  4. Prepare the Topping: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the chilled cheesecake. Decorate the top with additional Oreo cookies, either whole or crushed.
  5. Serve: Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice the cheesecake and serve chilled. Enjoy this delicious Cookies & Cream Cheesecake as a delightful dessert!

Notes

  • Be careful not to overmix the batter once eggs are added to avoid cracking during baking.
  • Allow the cheesecake to chill overnight for the best texture and flavor.
  • You can use a water bath while baking to ensure even cooking and prevent cracks, though it’s not required.
  • For a richer crust, you can add a tablespoon of sugar to the crust mixture if preferred.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps.
