How to Make Red Velvet Oreo Cheesecake Delight

Here’s how to bring this delightful treat to life!

Ingredients:

  • 3 packages (8 ounces each) full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 10 Oreo cookies, filling removed and crushed
  • 15 Oreos, chopped
  • 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch or 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 can store-bought cream cheese frosting
  • 8 Oreos, chopped for decoration

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Get a 9-inch springform pan and an 8-inch round cake pan ready by lining them with parchment paper and spraying them with non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until fluffy. Then, add the sour cream, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, eggs, and red food coloring. Mix until smooth.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, until everything is fully combined. Lastly, mix in the baking soda and vinegar.
  5. Divide the red velvet cake batter between the prepared pans. Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool down completely.
  6. For the Oreo cheesecake filling, blend the Oreo wafers into fine crumbs. In another large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then mix in the crushed Oreo filling, granulated sugar, and cornstarch until combined.
  7. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, eggs, and egg yolk to the cream cheese mixture. Gently fold in the Oreo crumbs and chopped Oreos.
  8. Pour the Oreo cheesecake filling over the cooled red velvet cake base.
  9. Bake the cheesecake in a water bath at 300°F for about 1 hour and 30 minutes or until set. After baking, let it cool gradually in the oven with the door ajar, then chill it overnight in the refrigerator.
  10. For the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just starts to simmer. Pour it over dark chocolate chips in a separate bowl and let it sit for a minute before stirring until smooth.
  11. Once chilled, pour the ganache over the cheesecake, letting it drip down the sides. Finally, decorate with store-bought cream cheese frosting and sprinkle chopped Oreos on top for added crunch.

How to Serve Red Velvet Oreo Cheesecake Delight

Serve this delicious cheesecake chilled, cut into beautiful slices. You can also add a dollop of whipped cream on top for an extra treat, and don’t forget to add more chopped Oreos for decoration!

How to Store Red Velvet Oreo Cheesecake Delight

Keep any leftovers in the refrigerator. To store, cover the cheesecake tightly with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. It should stay fresh for about 3 to 5 days.

Tips to Make Red Velvet Oreo Cheesecake Delight

  • Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature for the best mixing.
  • Don’t rush the cooling process; letting the cheesecake cool gradually helps it set perfectly without cracking.
  • For a fun presentation, you can slice it into squares instead of wedges.

Variation

Try adding some chocolate chips to the Oreo cheesecake filling for an extra chocolate burst! You could also experiment with different types of cookies for the crust.
