It's always a great idea to use Oreo cookies in cheesecake recipes and more than in this Oreo brownies recipe, this chocolate Oreo cake or this Oreo milkshake, these chocolate sandwich cookies are incredible in this Cookies and cream cheesecake.

How to Make Oreo Cheesecake

Make Oreo crust

• Finely blend the Oreo cookies in a food processor to fine crumbs, with no lumps.
• Add the melted butter and blend until smooth.
• Pour the mixture into a springform pan lined with parchment paper and press down with the back of a tablespoon, then use the bottom of a glass to create a smooth layer that comes up to the edges.
• Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the cheesecake batter

• Beat cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy.
• Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat again to incorporate, taking care not to add too much air to the mixture.

• Add the sour cream and lemon juice and beat again just until incorporated.
• Finish by adding the crushed Oreo cookies and stirring with a spatula to incorporate them.

Baking

• Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared springform pan over the Oreo crust.
• Preheat oven to 300°F/ 150°C and heat a saucepan with hot water to bake in a water bath.
• Pour the hot water over the deep fryer positioned under the rack.
• Bake the cheesecake for around 60-90 minutes, until the center is completely set.
• Leave the oreo cheesecake to cool for one hour in the oven with the door open.
• Then let cool completely to room temperature before covering with plastic wrap and leave the cheesecake overnight in the fridge.

Decoration

• The next day, carefully unmold the baked Oreo cheesecake and place on a serving dish.
• Decorate the top of the cheesecake with whipped cream and Oreo cookie pieces.

Tip: Add a chocolate ganache to the top of the cheesecake by simply melting chocolate in the microwave.

Storage instructions

In the fridge: Cheesecake rest can only be stored in the fridge for around 4-5 days, wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container.
