This Easy Oreo Cheesecake is a rich, dense, and creamy cheesecake with lots of crushed oreo cookies pieces. It’s a Cookies & Cream delight! You really can’t go wrong with oreos in a cheesecake.
This recipe is easy to make even for a novice cheesecake baker. It bakes up so beautifully, people will be convinced it came from a bakery. The batter is a simple cream cheese, egg, flour, and sugar batter with sour cream added for depth of flavor.
Tips for Making Oreo Cheesecake:
- For a little Christmas flavor, try using mint oreos.
- If you don’t have a food processor, place the oreos in a large ziptop bag and crush them with a heavy rolling pin or a mallet until only fine crumbs remain.
- Do NOT remove the cream center from the oreo cookies.
- Be sure the cream cheese is very soft or even at room temperature. It will be very hard to get it smooth if it is still cold. Likewise, you want your eggs at room temperature.
- Be sure not to overbake your cheesecake. It should still jiggle a little in the middle when you remove it from the oven.
- Mix the eggs in at low speed and do not overmix. Eggs can hold air which can lead to a crack in your cheesecake.
- For best flavor, bake this cheesecake a day in advance.
- Will keep in the refrigerator for 1 week.

I made this for Christmas Eve. I used low fat cream cheese and reduced fat sour cream and it came out great! Also, I did not have enough Oreos, so I added a few of my chocolate crinkle cookies to the food processor. Will definitely make this again!
It looked so good that I didn’t that I didn’t wait for it to cool. I didn’t wait for another day. I NEEDED to try it right there and then.
this was easy to make and fun as well. RIght now it’s in the oven…can’t wait to taste it😋😋😋
I love this recipe
While I’m no fan of cheesecake even I couldn’t resist the taste of this cheesecake
It was absolutely delightful
I will admit this was my first crack at “Oreo” cheesecake and while the flavors was there and the texture was spot on
I couldn’t help but feel like I did something wrong
The cheesecake was rather heavy
It seemed super solid but it wasn’t
I may have over baked it but I was also thinking maybe it was the flour
May I ask it’s (the flour) purpose
What happens if I omit the flour
As I said I could’ve just over baked it by a few minutes
But anyway great recipe!
Thank for sharing

Can this be put in the freezer?
Hi! What would be the temp and baking time if this was baked in a water bath? Or do you think a water bath isn’t necessary?
While looking for the simplest recipe, I find that this one is best. My daughter loves it and we had fun baking it. Thank for sharing it.
Note: I replaced the sour cream with normal cooking cream and the cream cheese with soft creamcheese, since the supermarket shelves was not so complete lately, but it turns out alright.
Just waiting for this to cool enough to put in the refrigerator. It looks so yummy. Can’t wait to have some tomorrow!!! 😍😋
