Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 24 Oreo cookies (crushed, with some larger chunks)
  • 5 tablespoons butter (melted)

Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • About 10 Oreo cookies (crushed, for folding into batter)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oreo Crust: Crush about 24 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs, leaving a few larger chunks for texture. Melt 5 tablespoons of butter and combine it with the cookie crumbs. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased springform pan to form the crust. Chill it in the fridge while preparing the filling to help it set firmly.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat 24 ounces of softened cream cheese with 1 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in 1 cup heavy cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for richness and flavor.
  3. Incorporate Crushed Oreos into the Batter: Fold about 10 crushed Oreo cookies gently into the cheesecake mixture, ensuring delightful cookie bursts throughout the creamy filling.
  4. Assemble the Layers: Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the chilled crust, then sprinkle a thin layer of Oreo crumbs evenly. Pour the remaining batter on top, smoothing the surface. Finish with more finely crushed Oreos as a beautiful top layer.
  5. Bake and Chill: Bake the cheesecake at 325°F (163°C) for 55–60 minutes until the center is almost set but slightly jiggles. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside to cool gradually for one hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to fully set and develop flavors.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth blending and no lumps.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to avoid air bubbles and cracks during baking.
  • If using a water bath, wrap the pan in aluminum foil to prevent leaks and ensure even baking.
  • Cool the cheesecake gradually inside the turned-off oven to prevent cracks.
  • Use fresh Oreos for the best crunch and flavor contrast in the layers.
