Ingredients

Scale

Oreo Crust:

  • 2 ½ cups Oreo cookie crumbs (about 25–30 cookies, crushed)
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp red food coloring

Chocolate Ganache:

  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Toppings:

  • Whipped cream
  • Oreo cookie crumbs
  • Whole Oreos

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Oreo Crust: Mix Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, eggs, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and red food coloring, mixing until combined. Pour the red velvet batter over the cooled crust and spread evenly.
  4. Layer the Cheesecake: In another bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Carefully pour over the red velvet layer, smoothing the top.
  5. Bake the Cheesecake: Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 50-60 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
  6. Chill and Garnish: Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 6 hours or overnight. Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until hot, pour over chocolate chips, let sit, then stir until smooth. Pour over the cheesecake, spread evenly. Pipe whipped cream around the edges, sprinkle with Oreo crumbs, and decorate with whole Oreos on top.
  7. Serve: Slice and serve the chilled Red Velvet Oreo Cheesecake. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For best results, allow the cheesecake to chill overnight for optimal flavor and texture.
  • You can personalize the toppings by adding fresh berries or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
