The star of this cheesecake? Those tantalizing Oreo cookies, giving its unique flavor and texture. Meanwhile, the cream cheese, sour cream and eggs come together, making it saturated with rich, creamy goodness. If you can't find sour cream or cream cheese in your local store, a good substitute could be yogurt or ricotta cheese respectively.

How To Make Luscious Oreo Cheesecake


Start by crushing the Oreo cookies until they resemble fine crumbs. Mix in the melted butter, press onto the bottom of the springform pan, and put it in the refrigerator to set.
Next, beat the cream cheese until it becomes nice and fluffy. Gradually add granulated sugar, make sure you mix until it's fully incorporated.
Stir in sour cream and vanilla extract, beat in the eggs, one at a time. Fold in the chopped Oreo cookies and pour the mixture over your chilled crust.
Bake in a preheated oven at 325��F (163��C) for about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Let your cheesecake cool in the oven with the door open, then refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.


Tips For The Best Results


Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature to achieve a smooth and creamy batter.
Avoid over-beating the egg, as it can cause the cake to crack when baking.


Storage Tips


If properly stored, the cheesecake can last up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
You can also freeze the cake for up to 1 month. Just make sure you wrap it well to avoid freezer burn.
