Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 24 Oreos, crushed
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- Pinch of salt
Filling
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Additional crushed Oreos for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs and mix thoroughly with the melted butter and a pinch of salt until well combined. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust. Place it in the refrigerator to chill and set while you prepare the filling.
- Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and heavy cream, then continue to mix until the filling is well combined and silky. Gently fold in the crushed Oreos to incorporate them evenly without breaking all the pieces.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the prepared filling over the chilled Oreo crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula. Sprinkle extra crushed Oreos on top as a decorative garnish to enhance the presentation and add an extra Oreo touch.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the cheesecake in the springform pan for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to firm up and set properly for clean slicing.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once fully set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice the cheesecake into wedges using a sharp knife and serve chilled for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Press the crust firmly to prevent it from crumbling when slicing.
- For a firmer cheesecake, refrigerate overnight.
- Use fresh Oreos for the best flavor and texture.
- Slicing with a warm, clean knife will give neater slices.
