Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 24 Oreos, crushed
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- Pinch of salt
Filling
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Reserved crushed Oreos (from the original 24 Oreos, before combining with butter)
Instructions
- Create the crust: Thoroughly crush 24 Oreos using a food processor or a zip-lock bag and rolling pin until fine crumbs form. Transfer crumbs into a mixing bowl and mix with melted butter and a pinch of salt until the mixture is moist and crumbly. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer. Refrigerate the crust to set while preparing the filling.
- Prepare the filling: In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar together with an electric mixer until smooth and lump-free for a creamy texture. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and heavy cream, mixing until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the reserved crushed Oreos to evenly distribute them throughout the filling, maintaining a light texture.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the filling over the chilled crust in the springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula to create an even surface. Sprinkle additional crushed Oreos on top for added texture and flavor. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth filling.
- Press the crust firmly to prevent crumbling when serving.
- Refrigeration time is crucial for the cheesecake to set properly; do not skip or shorten this step.
- For an extra chocolatey touch, consider adding 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder to the crust mixture.
- This recipe is no-bake, making it simple and quick to prepare with minimal oven use.
