This Oreo cheesecake is a super creamy baked cheesecake loaded with Oreo pieces and Oreo crumbs. It also has an Oreo crust, chocolate ganache, and Oreo whipped cream.
Preheat oven to 325F. Spray a 9 inch spring form pan with baking spray. Place a 9 inch parchment circle on the bottom of the pan and spray again. Set aside.
Use a food processor to crush up Oreos into super fine crumbs.
2 ½ cups Oreo crumbs
In a small bowl, stir the melted butter and Oreo crumbs together until all wet and combined.
5 tablespoon Unsalted butter
Pour the crumbs into the spring form pan. Use your fingers to press the crust evenly across the bottom and halfway up the sides of the pan. Use the back of a measuring cup to compact the crust down.
Bake for 10 minutes
Oreo Cheesecake
Once crust is done baking, start on the cheesecake batter. Use a mixer to beat the cream cheese and sugar on high speed for 2 minutes.
24 oz Cream cheese, ¾ cup White granulated sugar
Add sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla to the batter and mix on medium for 1 minute. There should be no more chunks left. Scrape the bowl using a rubber spatula.
½ cup Sour cream, ¼ cup Heavy cream, 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
Add the eggs one at a time on low. Take off the mixer and fold in the Oreo crumbs and Oreo pieces gently.
4 Large eggs, 1 cup Oreo pieces, ½ cup Oreo crumbs
Pour batter on top of Oreo crust. Then, prepare a water bath.
Water bath. Use one of these methods for a water bath. Both methods use a large roasting pan and hot steaming water.1. Place the springform pan in a 10 inch cake pan. Place the cake pan in the roasting pan and fill with hot water halfway up the cake pan. This method prevent water getting into the crust.2. Wrap the springform pan tightly twice in aluminum foil. Place the springform pan inside the roasting pan. Fill with hot water halfway up the springform pan. This method works great, but can sometimes leak water into the crust.
Place entire water bath in oven and bake for 60-75 minutes. It is done baking when the edges are set, and the middle has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven and crack the door open, and let it sit for 30 minutes to let the cheesecake slowly cool.
Transfer to a cooling rack and let it cool completely. Cover in foil and place in fridge to cool for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Chocolate Ganache
Pour chocolate chip in a small bowl and set aside. Heat heavy cream using a sauce pan over medium-low heat. Heat until hot and steaming. Pour it over the chocolate chips. Let it sit for 2 minutes.
1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips, ½ cup Heavy cream
Use a rubber spatula and stir consistently until smooth and glossy. If there is any chocolate chip chunks remaining, heat in the microwave for 10 second intervals until melted.
Take the springform pan and the parchment paper off of the cheesecake. Pour the chocolate on top. Cool in the freezer for at least 10 minutes.
Oreo Whipped Cream
Place metal bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer to chill for 10 minutes before making whipped cream.
Combine heavy cream, vanilla, powdered sugar, and Oreo crumbs in the cold metal bowl. Use a mixer to beat whipped cream on high until stiff peaks form. It should be thick enough to pipe with.
1 cup Heavy whipping cream, ¼ cup Powdered sugar, ½ teaspoon Pure vanilla extract, ½ cup Oreo crumbs
Pipe the Oreo whipped cream on top of the cake. Top with extra Oreos and Oreo crumbs.
