Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 24 Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Oreo cookies, crushed (for mixing into the filling)

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Oreo cookies, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter, mixing until the crumbs are well coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even crust layer. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove and allow it to cool while preparing the filling.
  2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined to avoid incorporating air. Stir in the sour cream and heavy cream until the filling is smooth, then gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies.
  3. Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until the center is slightly jiggly but set. After baking, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the oven door slightly ajar for about 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to set completely.
  4. Prepare the Topping: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Spread this whipped cream evenly over the chilled cheesecake. Garnish the top with additional Oreo cookies, either whole or crushed, to enhance visual appeal and flavor.
  5. Serve: Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice the cheesecake into portions and serve chilled. Enjoy your rich and creamy Cookies & Cream Cheesecake!

Notes

  • For best results, ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps.
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding eggs to prevent cracking during baking.
  • Allow the cheesecake to chill overnight for a firmer, creamier texture.
  • The crust can be made ahead of time and refrigerated before adding the filling.
  • If you prefer a thicker crust, add an additional 4-6 crushed Oreo cookies.
