Description
Indulge in the rich and creamy flavors of Red Velvet Oreo Cheesecake, a delightful dessert that combines the classic taste of red velvet with the crunch of Oreo cookies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups Oreo cookie crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 10 Oreo cookies, chopped (for filling)
- 10 Oreo cookies, crushed (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until well combined.
- Add the vanilla extract, eggs (one at a time), sour cream, flour, cocoa powder, and red food coloring. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in the chopped Oreo cookies until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to cool gradually.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- Before serving, top the cheesecake with crushed Oreo cookies.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add 1 teaspoon of almond extract to the cheesecake batter.
- Consider drizzling melted chocolate or cream cheese frosting over the top for an extra indulgent touch.
