- 24 Oreo cookies (crushed into fine crumbs)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- For the red velvet cheesecake filling:
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon red gel food coloring (or more for a deeper red)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat to 325°F (163°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Prepare the crust: Crush the Oreos and mix with melted butter. Press into the prepared pan.
- Make the cheesecake filling: Beat together cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time. Stir in sour cream, flour, cocoa powder, food coloring, vanilla extract, and salt until combined.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the filling into the Oreo crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
- Cool and refrigerate: Let the cheesecake cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Serve: Garnish with whipped cream, crushed Oreos, or red velvet cake crumbs before serving.
Notes
- Room temperature ingredients: Ensure that your cream cheese, eggs, and sour cream are at room temperature for the smoothest filling.
- Slow cooling: Let the cheesecake cool slowly in the oven to prevent cracks.
