Ingredients

Scale

Oreo Cookie Crust:

  • 2 ½ cups Oreo cookie crumbs (about 25–30 cookies, crushed)
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Red Velvet Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp red food coloring

Chocolate Ganache Topping:

  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Garnish:

  • Whipped cream
  • Oreo cookie crumbs
  • Whole Oreos

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the crust: Mix Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  3. Make the red velvet filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, eggs, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and red food coloring, mixing until combined. Pour the red velvet batter over the cooled crust and spread evenly.
  4. Prepare the cheesecake layer: In another bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Carefully pour over the red velvet layer, smoothing the top.
  5. Bake: Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 50-60 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
  6. Chill: Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  7. Make the ganache: Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until hot (but not boiling). Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Let cool slightly, then pour over the cheesecake, spreading evenly.
  8. Decorate and serve: Pipe whipped cream around the edges and sprinkle with Oreo crumbs. Decorate with whole Oreos on top. Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For a cleaner slice, dip your knife in hot water and wipe it dry between cuts.
  • You can customize the toppings with additional Oreos, sprinkles, or drizzled chocolate.
