Indulge in this easy and delicious Cookies & Cream Cheesecake recipe, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 Oreo cookies (whole, with filling)
- 6 tbsp (85 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 32 oz (900 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream (room temperature)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- 15 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Mini Oreos or crushed Oreos for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Crush the Oreos (use a food processor or crush in a bag).
- Mix with melted butter until evenly moistened.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool slightly while you prepare the filling.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes).
- Add sour cream and vanilla extract; mix well.
- Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low just until combined (don’t over-mix).
- Fold in the chopped Oreos gently with a spatula.
- Pour the batter over the prepared crust.
- Place the springform pan inside a larger roasting pan, and pour hot water into the outer pan (about halfway up the sides) for a water bath — this prevents cracks.
- Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until the center is just slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and let it cool inside for 1 hour.
- Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight).
- Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
- Pipe or spread over the chilled cheesecake.
- Garnish with crushed Oreos and mini cookies on top.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature ingredients.
- Chilling the cheesecake overnight enhances the flavor and texture.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of Oreos based on your preference.
