How to Make Oreo Cheesecake: Step-by-Step Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Oreo Crust

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Pulse 24 Oreo cookies (filling included) in a food processor until fine crumbs form.
  3. Combine crumbs with melted butter and press firmly into the bottom of the pan. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Creamy Oreo Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes).
  2. Add sugar and mix until fully combined.
  3. Mix in sour cream and vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  4. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing gently after each until just incorporated (don’t over-mix).
  5. Fold in chopped Oreo cookies with a spatula.

Step 3: Bake the Cheesecake

  1. Pour the batter onto the prepared crust and smooth the top.
  2. Bake for 55-65 minutes, until the center is just set and slightly jiggly.
  3. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let cheesecake cool for 1 hour inside.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

  1. Remove from oven, run a thin knife around the edge, and cool to room temperature.
  2. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (overnight is best).
  3. Garnish with whipped cream and extra Oreos before slicing and serving.

Notes & Tips for Perfect Oreo Cheesecake

  • For best results, use room temperature cream cheese and eggs for a smoother filling.

Oreo Cheesecake FAQ

Can I make Oreo Cheesecake ahead of time?
Absolutely! It's even better when made a day ahead, as the flavors develop while chilling.
Can I use low-fat cream cheese?
Yes, but full-fat cream cheese yields the creamiest, richest texture.
How do I know when my cheesecake is done baking?
The outside should be set and the center just slightly jiggly—don’t overbake!
