Easy Oreo Cheesecake. 8 ingredients. The perfect size for when you need something sweet. A crushed Oreo cookie crust with a creamy cheesecake filling and a sprinkling of Oreo crumbs. Just enough to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Just a little sweet treat to liven up your day. I’m a sucker for dessert. A big chocolate chip cookie. A slice of pumpkin bread with a sugary streusel crumb. An ultra rich slice of French silk pie. My latest obsession is this cool and creamy Oreo cheesecake. Besides the rich and velvety filling, it has the added bonus of being oh so easy to make.
why I love this easy Oreo cheesecake recipe
This is not one of those over the top, mega high cheesecakes that can be a little intimidating to eat and make. It’s one that has just the right amount of crunchy crumbled Oreo cookie crust. The chocolatey and butteriness of the crust compliments the layer of sweet custardy cream cheese filling.

suggestions and tips
Gather up all the ingredients and bring them room temperature before you start baking. The mixing will go more smoothly with softened cream cheese and room temp eggs and sour cream. The resulting cheesecake will have a creamy texture too.
A springform pan is my preferred cheesecake pan. The latch on the side makes for a super simple way to unmold the dessert from the pan. Run a knife around the edge as soon as the cheesecake comes out of the oven to avoid any sticking.
If you are like me, you can’t wait for the cheesecake to be ready. Try your best not to crack the oven door to take a peek at the cheesecake while it bakes. Every time the oven door is opened, the temperature in the oven decreases. This will mess with the cooking time. It will be more difficult to know when the cheesecake is done.
Let an expert help with knowing when your cheesecake is ready. A digital thermometer is a lifesaver in the kitchen. The cheesecake is ready when the internal temperature is 145 degrees F. It will be perfectly baked to a smooth, creamy and velvety perfection. Start checking the temp about 10 minutes before the end of the suggested baking time.
You can enjoy the cheesecake while it is warm but, it will be more difficult to slice beautiful pieces. Allow the cheesecake to cool to room temp on a cooling rack. Then cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for about 3 to 4 hours to set and firm.
