Ingredients
Scale
- 24 oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup (60 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Heat oven to 325F (163C) and prepare an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, ensuring edges extend for easy removal.
- Pulverize Oreo cookies in a food processor until they become fine crumbs, creating a uniform texture for the crust.
- Blend pulverized cookies with melted butter, then firmly press the mixture into the pan’s bottom, creating a compact base.
- Using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese until silky and smooth, eliminating any lumps.
- Incorporate granulated sugar into the cream cheese, mixing until the mixture becomes completely uniform and creamy.
- Introduce sour cream and vanilla extract, blending until the mixture achieves a consistent, velvety consistency.
- Add eggs individually, gently mixing after each addition to maintain a smooth texture without overmixing.
- Delicately fold crushed Oreos into the cheesecake batter, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, spreading it uniformly to ensure an even surface.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until the center sets and appears slightly firm with a gentle wobble.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for minimum 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, garnish with additional crushed Oreos sprinkled across the top.
- Slice into precise cubes and serve chilled.
Notes
- Create a smooth cheesecake texture by ensuring cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing, which prevents lumps and creates a silky consistency.
- Crush Oreo cookies into fine, uniform crumbs for the most even crust and filling distribution, using a food processor or placing cookies in a sealed bag and rolling with a rolling pin.
- Prevent cracks by avoiding overmixing the cheesecake batter and baking in a water bath, which provides gentle, even heat and helps maintain moisture.
- Customize for dietary needs by using gluten-free Oreos and low-fat cream cheese for a lighter version, or swap regular sugar with a sugar substitute for a lower-calorie dessert.
