Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 10 standard Oreo cookies, finely chopped
Crust
- 25 Oreo cookies
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
Topping
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 25 mini Oreos and Oreo crumbs, for decorating
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, making sure there is some overhang on the sides to allow easy removal of the cheesecake later.
- Make Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add the granulated sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, stirring gently by hand after each addition just until incorporated. Carefully fold in the finely chopped Oreo cookies.
- Prepare Crust: Using a food processor, pulse the 25 Oreo cookies until they form fine crumbs. Add melted butter to the crumbs and pulse again until the mixture is evenly combined and crumbly.
- Assemble Base: Press the Oreo crumb and butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, creating a firm and even crust layer.
- Add Cheesecake Layer: Spread the prepared cheesecake mixture evenly over the Oreo crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top shifts from a wet sheen to a matte finish but still remains slightly wobbly when gently shaken.
- Cool and Chill: Allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to let it firm up completely.
- Make Whipped Cream: In a clean bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks develop.
- Cut and Decorate: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the cheesecake out of the pan and place on a cutting board. Cut into 1 to 1½ inch squares. Pipe or spoon whipped cream onto each square, then top with a mini Oreo cookie and sprinkle with Oreo crumbs for garnish if desired.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smoother filling.
- Do not overbake the cheesecake; it should still be slightly wobbly in the center when pulled out to avoid cracking.
- The cheesecake can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For firmer bites, chill the cheesecake overnight before cutting.
- Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry for easier, cleaner cuts.
