Instructions:
- Prepare the Oreo Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the Oreo cookie crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the granulated sugar, beating until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Stir in the sour cream and heavy cream until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in the flour and crushed Oreo cookies until well combined.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled Oreo crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake the Cheesecake:
- Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. The top should be a light golden color.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
- Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set completely.
- Prepare the Oreo Whipped Cream Topping:
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies.
- Finish the Cheesecake:
- Spread the Oreo whipped cream evenly over the top of the chilled cheesecake.
- Garnish with whole Oreos and a drizzle of chocolate syrup or ganache if desired.
Tips:
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that the cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smooth and creamy filling.
- Prevent Cracking: To help prevent cracks in your cheesecake, avoid overmixing the batter and consider using a water bath during baking.
- Serve Chilled: This cheesecake is best served chilled. Let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before slicing to make cutting easier.
