Description
Oreo Cheesecake Slice is a delightful dessert that combines the beloved flavor of Oreos with a creamy cheesecake filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 Oreos, crushed
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- To create the crust for your Oreo Cheesecake Slice, begin by thoroughly crushing the 24 Oreos. You can do this using a food processor or by placing the Oreos in a zip-lock bag and crushing them with a rolling pin until they form fine crumbs. Once crushed, transfer the crumbs into a mixing bowl and combine them with the melted butter. The mixture should be moist and crumbly. Next, take a 9-inch springform pan and press this Oreo mixture firmly into the bottom, creating an even layer. Once complete, cover the crust by placing it in the refrigerator so that it sets slightly while you prepare the filling.
- In a separate mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat these two ingredients together until they are completely smooth and free of lumps. This step is crucial for a creamy cheesecake texture, so take your time. Once well combined, add in the sour cream, vanilla extract, and heavy cream. Mix these ingredients together until they are fully incorporated. Finally, gently fold in the reserved crushed Oreos, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. This folding technique helps maintain the light texture of the filling.
- Now that you have both the crust and the filling prepared, it’s time to assemble the cheesecake. Take the springform pan from the refrigerator and carefully pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust. Use a spatula to smooth out the top, ensuring an even surface. For a touch of visual appeal, sprinkle additional crushed Oreos over the top of the cheesecake. This not only adds texture but also enhances the flavor. After assembling, cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and place the cheesecake in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until it is fully set.
Notes
Letting it chill overnight improves the flavor and texture significantly.
