Ingredients

Crust

  • 30 Oreo cookies (regular or gluten free)
  • 4 tbsp melted butter

Filling

  • 32 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1 cup sour cream (room temperature)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup lightly crushed Oreos (regular or gluten free)

Topping

  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray to ensure the cheesecake doesn’t stick.
  2. Make Crust: Place the Oreo cookies and melted butter into a food processor and blend until fine crumbs form.
  3. Press Crust: Using a spatula or the bottom of a mug, press the cookie crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the springform pan. Bake for 8 minutes, then remove and set aside.
  4. Prepare Filling – Cream Cheese: In a stand mixer, beat the room temperature cream cheese on medium speed for 3 minutes until creamy and smooth.
  5. Add Creamy Ingredients: Add sour cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
  6. Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined. Avoid over mixing to maintain a smooth texture.
  7. Fold in Oreos: Gently fold in the lightly crushed Oreos to the filling mixture.
  8. Pour and Spread Filling: Pour the filling onto the pre-baked crust in the springform pan. Smooth into an even layer.
  9. Prepare Water Bath: Wrap two sheets of tin foil tightly around the bottom edges of the springform pan to prevent water from seeping in during baking.
  10. Set Up Water Bath: Place the springform pan in the center of a rimmed baking or roasting pan. Pour hot water into the pan until it reaches about 1 inch up the sides of the springform pan.
  11. Bake Cheesecake: Carefully place the pans in the oven. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes until the cheesecake is set but slightly jiggly when gently shaken.
  12. Cool in Oven: Turn off the oven and open the door slightly. Leave the cheesecake inside the oven for 1 hour to cool gradually and prevent cracking.
  13. Cool Completely: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
  14. Prepare Chocolate Topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted.
  15. Apply Topping and Chill: Pour the melted chocolate over the cooled cheesecake in the springform pan. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until the chocolate topping hardens.
  16. Serve: Carefully loosen the cheesecake from the edges of the springform pan. Use a very sharp knife to slice the cheesecake into servings.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth cheesecake batter and prevent lumps.
  • Be careful not to overmix eggs into the batter to avoid a dense texture.
  • Wrapping the pan with foil and using a water bath helps prevent cracks and promotes even baking.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool gradually for better texture and appearance.
  • Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between slices for clean cuts.
