Step-by-Step Instructions for Oreo Cheesecake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 7-inch springform pan with parchment paper and aluminum foil for a watertight seal.
- Crush 24 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and mix with ½ cup melted unsalted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press into the pan and bake for 8–10 minutes.
- Beat together cream cheese, sugar, eggs, sour cream, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Mix on low speed for an additional 1–2 minutes.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of chopped Oreo cookies until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Pour the cheesecake batter into the crust, tap the pan to release air bubbles, and bake in a water bath at 325°F for about 75 minutes until set.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool gradually in the oven with the door cracked for about an hour.
- Chill the cheesecake for at least four hours or overnight before serving.
- Melt chocolate chips with heavy cream and pour over the cheesecake for a ganache topping.
- Garnish with whipped cream and halved Oreos, then serve chilled.

Notes
For best results, avoid overmixing the filling and always use a water bath to prevent cracks in the cheesecake.
