Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 25 pieces, Whole Oreo Cookies for crust
  • 75 Unsalted g, Butter melted for crust; use unsalted to control saltiness
  • 500 Cream g, Cheese softened; Philadelphia brand recommended for best results
  • 100 Granulated g, Sugar adjust sweetness level to taste
  • 200 Heavy ml, Whipping Cream for added lightness in the filling
  • 125 Sour g, Cream room temperature; enhances creaminess
  • 1 tsp, Vanilla Extract pure vanilla preferred for richer flavor
  • 3 large, Eggs at room temperature; add one at a time for smooth mixing

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Crust : Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or blender. Mix with melted butter until well combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a greased springform pan and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Make the Filling : In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and mix until fully incorporated. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time, ensuring each ingredient is mixed thoroughly before adding the next.
  3. Assemble the Cheesecake : Pour the cheesecake batter over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  4. Bake : Preheat your oven to 160°C (fan-assisted) or 180°C (conventional). Bake for 50 minutes or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
  5. Cool and Chill : Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before slicing.
  6. Serve : Garnish with whipped cream, extra crushed Oreos, or fresh fruit if desired.

Notes

  • For a no-bake version, skip baking and freeze the assembled cheesecake for 4–6 hours instead.
  • If cracks appear during baking, don’t worry—they can be easily covered with toppings like caramel or chocolate drizzle.
  • To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, ensure the filling isn’t too wet.
