How to Make the Recipe
Let’s dive into the step-by-step process to create this decadent dessert:
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (165°C). In a medium bowl, mix together the Oreo crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
Step 2: Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Stir in the additional Oreo crumbs and chopped Oreos. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the heavy cream. Pour the batter over the cooled crust.
Step 3: Bake the Cheesecake
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is just slightly jiggly. Avoid overbaking to ensure a creamy texture. Once done, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour with the door ajar.
Step 4: Chill and Top
Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, melt the chocolate chips and drizzle over the top. Add whipped cream and additional Oreo pieces for a stunning presentation.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
For the best results, keep these tips in mind:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to avoid lumps in the batter.
- Don’t overmix the batter to prevent a dense cheesecake.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely in the pan to avoid cracking.
- For a Fancy Cheesecake, consider adding a caramel drizzle or fresh berries on top.
How to Serve
This Oreo Baked Cheesecake is perfect on its own, but you can elevate it with a few simple additions:
- Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of Oreo crumbs
- Drizzle with chocolate sauce or caramel
- Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
- Add fresh berries for a pop of color
Make Ahead and Storage
This cheesecake is a great make-ahead dessert. Bake and chill it up to 2 days in advance. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
