Indulge in the Decadent Delight of Red Velvet Oreo Cheesecake. This showstopping dessert combines the iconic taste of red velvet cake with the irresistible crunch of Oreo cookies, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 24 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- whipped cream
- Oreo crumbs
- chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F. In a bowl, mix the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool.
2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, sour cream, cocoa powder, and red food coloring, ensuring everything is evenly incorporated.
3. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled Oreo crust. Bake for 60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Let it cool in the oven with the door ajar for 30 minutes.
4. After cooling, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely. Before serving, top with whipped cream, Oreo crumbs, and optional chocolate shavings.
Notes
Bring all ingredients to room temperature before starting for a smooth texture.
Avoid overmixing to prevent air bubbles and cracks.
Consider baking in a water bath for even heat distribution.
For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free Oreo cookies or another gluten-free cookie for the crust.
