The Best Oreo Cheesecake Recipe
What You Need For This Delicious Treat
To make this delicious Oreo cheesecake, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 packs of Oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup of melted butter
- 2 (8 ounces) packages of cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup of white sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 eggs (at room temperature)
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
Preparing the Cheesecake
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Begin by crushing the Oreo cookies in a food processor or using a rolling pin. Mix the melted butter and cookie crumbs together in a bowl, and then press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the vanilla extract, eggs, and cream and mix until fully combined. Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared crust, and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Cooling and Refrigerating the Cheesecake
Once the cheesecake is finished baking, let it cool in the oven for 10 minutes, then cool on the counter for another 10 minutes. Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Serving the Oreo Cheesecake
When ready to serve, remove the cheesecake from the pan and slice into wedges. Enjoy your Oreo cheesecake with a dollop of whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or fresh berries!
Tips for the Perfect Cheesecake
When making the cheesecake batter, be sure to mix the ingredients together until there are no lumps. Make sure to bake the cheesecake in a water bath, which will help prevent cracking. Finally, let the cheesecake cool fully before serving. Enjoy!
