Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookie Crust:
- 1 ½ cups Oreo cookies (crushed)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mini chocolate chip cookies (for mixing in)
For the Topping:
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chip cookies (for garnish)
- Extra Oreo crumbs (for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cookie Crust: Crush Oreo cookies finely using a food processor. Combine the crushed cookies with melted unsalted butter and press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating a firm base for the cheesecake.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and free of lumps. Add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure a silky batter. Gently fold in the sour cream and mini chocolate chip cookies for added texture and flavor.
- Bake the Cheesecake: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Pour the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared Oreo crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake the cheesecake for about 60 minutes or until the center is slightly jiggly but mostly set. After baking, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
- Chill and Serve: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow it to fully set and develop flavors. Before serving, spread whipped cream over the top, garnish with mini chocolate chip cookies and sprinkle extra Oreo crumbs for decoration and extra crunch.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the batter.
- Do not overbake; the center should remain slightly jiggly to keep the cheesecake creamy.
- Use a springform pan for easy removal of the cheesecake.
- For best flavor, chill the cheesecake overnight.
- Mini chocolate chip cookies add texture and a fun surprise inside the cheesecake.
