Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs
- 12 Oreo cookies, chopped
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) melted butter
Flavoring:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 325F (165C) and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage.
- Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and combine with melted butter, then firmly press the mixture into the pan’s bottom to create a compact base.
- Using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese and sugar until achieving a silky, lump-free consistency.
- Incorporate eggs individually, thoroughly mixing after each addition to maintain a smooth texture.
- Gently blend vanilla extract and sour cream into the cream cheese mixture, maintaining a creamy and uniform composition.
- Roughly chop additional Oreo cookies and delicately fold them into the cream cheese batter, distributing evenly.
- Transfer the filling onto the prepared crust, using a spatula to spread the mixture uniformly and eliminate air pockets.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, monitoring until the center sets and appears slightly firm with a gentle wobble.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature, which helps prevent cracking.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for a minimum of 4 hours to ensure proper setting and enhanced flavor development.
- Once thoroughly chilled, slice into precise cube-shaped portions and serve chilled.
Notes
- Crush Oreo cookies finely for a smooth, compact crust that holds together perfectly without crumbling.
- Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs to ensure a silky, lump-free cheesecake texture with no cracks.
- Allow cheesecake to cool gradually to prevent sudden temperature changes that could cause surface splitting or uneven texture.
- For gluten-free option, swap regular Oreos with gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies and use gluten-free graham crackers in the crust.
