How To Make a Creamy Oreo Cheesecake

oreo cookie crust

We’ll first carefully separate each Oreo cookie into its two components: Twist the cookies apart to remove the sweet cream filling from the chocolate wafers.

Place all the cream fillings in a separate bowl – we’ll use this later to boost the Oreo flavor in our cheesecake filling.

The chocolate wafer halves will be used to make the crust, so you can put them in a food processor.

If any cream sticks to the wafers, simply scrape it off with a small knife and add it to your cream filling bowl. 

For the perfect oreo cookie crust, process the chocolate Oreo wafers into fine, uniform crumbs using a food processor until they resemble dark sand with no large pieces.

If crushing by hand, place wafers in a sealed bag or ziplock bag and roll firmly with a rolling pin until completely broken down.

Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and drizzle with melted butter.

Mix thoroughly until every crumb is coated and the texture becomes like wet sand – when squeezed, it should hold together briefly before crumbling.

Take your buttery Oreo crumbs and press them into the springform pan – start by working the mixture up the sides, then press the remaining crumbs evenly across the bottom.

Use your fingers or a flat-bottomed cup to compact it firmly until the entire surface is tight and even. Freeze for 15 minutes to set the crust completely while you prepare the filling.

For the ultimate cream cheese Oreo dessert, begin by making a smooth cornstarch mixture to prevent lumps.

In a bowl, whisk cornstarch with 1/3 of the cold heavy cream until dissolved, adding more gradually until it reaches a pourable consistency.

This ensures your cream cheese Oreo dessert filling stays perfectly smooth when combined with the other ingredients.

For the smoothest baked oreo cheesecake, proper preparation of your cream cheese is crucial. Start with room temperature cream cheese (left out for 1-2 hours) – this ensures easy blending and prevents lumps.

In your mixing bowl, vigorously work the cream cheese with a spatula, pressing it against the sides of the bowl to break down any firmness.

You’ll know it’s ready when the texture becomes completely smooth, glossy, and spreadable like thick frosting, with no white streaks remaining.

For this easy Oreo cheesecake recipe, we’ll now add the eggs one at a time – this gradual incorporation is key for that perfect creamy texture.

Use room temperature eggs (they blend more smoothly than cold ones) and add them individually to your cream cheese mixture.

After each egg, stop and whisk thoroughly until fully combined before adding the next, about 30 seconds of mixing per egg.

You’ll notice the batter becoming lighter and slightly more liquid with each addition. 

To achieve the smoothest possible batter, sift the powdered sugar directly into the mixing bowl. This prevents any lumps from forming and ensures even distribution throughout the mixture.

Use a fine mesh sieve and gently tap it as you sprinkle the sugar over the batter.

Once added, whisk the sugar in thoroughly using a spatula, making sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Mix until no dry patches remain and the batter looks completely homogeneous.

The powdered sugar will dissolve quickly, helping create that signature velvety texture we want in the finished cheesecake.

Cheesecake filling

Melt the reserved Oreo cream in the microwave for 20 seconds until smooth and pourable.

To blend it seamlessly into the cheesecake batter, start by mixing a small amount of batter into the melted cream, this helps equalize the temperatures and prevents lumps.

Stir vigorously until completely smooth.

Then, pour this mixture back into the main batter and mix everything again, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl to ensure even distribution.

Now add the prepared cornstarch mixture to your cheesecake batter. Pour it in gradually while continuously whisking to ensure smooth incorporation. 

Grab your Oreo cookies and place them on a cutting board. Using a large chef’s knife, chop them into small, bite-sized pieces.

You want them small enough to distribute evenly throughout the batter, but large enough to provide satisfying texture.

Gently pour the chopped Oreo pieces into your cheesecake batter.

Using a rubber spatula, fold them in with slow, deliberate motions.

Scrape from the bottom of the bowl up and over the top, rotating the bowl as you go. The goal is to distribute the cookies evenly without overmixing.

bake

For the best Oreo cheesecake ever, carefully pour the luxurious batter over your chilled Oreo crust, letting it flow gently from the center outward.

The cold crust will maintain its perfect texture beneath the creamy filling. Lightly tap the pan on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles 

Place your filled springform pan on a sturdy baking tray before putting it in the oven.

• First, it catches any potential butter drips from the crust during baking, preventing messy oven spills and smoke.
• Second, the tray makes transporting your delicate cheesecake much safer and more stable, especially when moving it in and out of the oven.

To bake this cheesecake for beginners, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and let it fully heat up, this is crucial for even baking.

Place your prepared cheesecake in the center rack and bake for 50 minutes.

The perfect cheesecake should have set edges with a slight wobble in the center when gently shaken – this means it’s done but still creamy.

---

Chill

After baking, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake rest inside for 30 minutes with the door closed, then prop the door slightly open for another 30 minutes to gradually reduce the temperature.

Remove from the oven and cool completely at room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, though overnight is ideal for the creamiest texture and cleanest slices.

---

Decorate

To finish your foolproof Oreo cheesecake, warm Nutella slightly (about 20 seconds in the microwave) until it’s pourable but not too runny, then drizzle it generously over the entire surface, letting some drip down the sides for a decadent effect.

Pipe swirls of whipped cream around the edges using a star tip, placing a whole Oreo cookie upright in between each swirl. For the final touch, crumble a few Oreo cookies by hand and sprinkle them.

Best Tips To Make a Baked Oreo Cheesecake

• Always bring the cream cheese and eggs to room temperature before starting. This ensures a smooth, lump-free batter for the creamiest Oreo cheesecake texture.
• Whisk cornstarch into cold heavy cream gradually until completely dissolved before incorporating it into the batter. This crucial step prevents clumping and ensures a flawlessly smooth texture in your finished cheesecake. Adding undissolved cornstarch directly to the batter can create undesirable gritty spots.
• Take your time to thoroughly beat the room-temperature cream cheese until perfectly smooth and free of lumps before adding any other ingredients.
• Crack in one egg at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition until fully blended before adding the next.
