  • Total Time: 7 hours 55 minutes
  • Yield: 14 servings

Ingredients

Crust

  • 35 Oreo cookies
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 12 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped

White Chocolate Ganache

  • 8 oz white chocolate melting wafers
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Decoration

  • 20 Oreo cookies (for decorating)
  • Heavy whipping cream (for piping border)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Place 35 whole Oreos into a food processor and pulse on high speed until the cookies turn into fine crumbs. Pour in 5 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter and pulse again to combine evenly. Transfer the crumb mixture into a 9-inch springform pan and press it firmly across the bottom and up the sides to form the crust.
  2. Bake the crust: Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8 minutes to set the crust. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  3. Make the cheesecake batter: In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add softened cream cheese and granulated sugar. Beat on high speed for about 5 minutes, scraping the bowl every couple of minutes to ensure a smooth, clump-free mixture.
  4. Add flavorings: Mix in vanilla extract and sour cream, continuing to beat on high speed for an additional 3-4 minutes until fully incorporated and smooth.
  5. Add eggs: Reduce mixer speed to low. Add eggs and egg yolk one at a time, waiting until yellow streaks disappear after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl thoroughly after all eggs are added to maintain even mixing.
  6. Incorporate chopped Oreos: Roughly chop 12 Oreo cookies and fold them gently into the cheesecake batter on low speed, taking care not to overmix to prevent cracking during baking.
  7. Bake the cheesecake: Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Pour the batter over the baked crust and bake in the center rack for 1 hour and 30 minutes. After baking, turn the oven off and leave the cheesecake inside without opening the door for several hours to cool gradually and prevent cracking.
  8. Chill the cheesecake: Once the cheesecake has cooled to room temperature, refrigerate it for 3-4 hours to fully set.
  9. Prepare the white chocolate ganache: Heat heavy cream to boiling and pour it over 8 ounces of white chocolate melting wafers. Stir until smooth. Allow the ganache to cool and thicken before pouring it evenly over the chilled cheesecake.
  10. Decorate: Sprinkle finely crumbled Oreo crumbs on top of the ganache and chill again until the ganache firms. Finish by piping a border of whipped heavy cream around the edge and garnishing with halved Oreo cookies.

Notes

  • Make sure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth batter and to prevent lumps.
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding eggs and chopped Oreos to avoid cracks during baking.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool gradually inside the oven after baking to prevent surface cracks.
  • You can substitute the white chocolate ganache with your favorite chocolate or skip it entirely for a simpler cheesecake.
  • The cheesecake needs to chill thoroughly to achieve the best texture and flavor, so plan ahead.
