Oreo Cheesecake Recipes

Steps:

• For the crust: Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
• Place the cookies in a large resealable plastic bag and crush until fine crumbs form but there are still a few larger chunks. Pour in the butter, reseal the bag and shake until the cookies are well coated.
• Firmly press the cookie mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan (use the bottom of a measuring cup to help pack it in and make it even). Bake until crisp and set, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Wrap the bottom and sides of the pan with a large piece of foil and put it in a large roasting pan.
• For the filling: Beat the cream cheese and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed for 1 minute. Add the sour cream and beat until just combined. Mix in the eggs by hand, one at a time. Mix in the vanilla by hand until just combined. (Take care not to overmix or the cheesecake will puff up and crack).
• Pour half of the batter into the springform pan. Sprinkle the chopped cookies over the top and gently press down on them so some sink into the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top. Add enough hot water to the roasting pan to come about halfway up the side of the springform pan.
• Bake until the outside of the cake is set but the center is still slightly loose, about 1 hour. Turn the oven off and leave the cheesecake in the oven for another hour. Remove the cheesecake from the roasting pan to a cooling rack. Run a knife around the edge and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours.
• For the topping: Pulse 9 of the cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Add the cream cheese and pulse until incorporated and sticky enough to form a ball. Scoop out 1 tablespoon and form into a ball, then roll the ball in the sprinkles until completely covered. Place on a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining cookie mixture and sprinkles for 9 balls total. Refrigerate until ready to use. Cut the remaining 5 cookies in half.
• Run a knife around the edge of the pan once more and open the clasp to unmold the cheesecake. Transfer to a serving plate or cake stand and smooth the edges with a knife. Drizzle the hot fudge sauce all over the top and sides of the cake, and use an offset spatula to spread it evenly, letting some drip over the sides. Make a decorative ring around the edge of the cheesecake with the cookie balls. Place a cookie half cut-side down in between each ball. Serve cold.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix crushed cookies and butter. Press onto bottom of a greased 9-in. springform pan. Refrigerate until ready to use., In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand 1 minute. Heat and stir over low heat until gelatin is completely dissolved. Let stand 5 minutes., In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth; gradually add milk. Beat in gelatin mixture. Fold in whipped topping and chopped cookies. Spoon over crust. , Refrigerate, covered, overnight. Loosen sides of cheesecake with a knife; remove rim from pan. If desired, garnish with additional chopped cookies.

Steps:

• Make the crust: Combine the Oreo crumbs with the melted butter in a medium bowl and mix well. Transfer to a 9-inch springform pan and press over the bottom. Refrigerate while you make the filling, at least 30 minutes.
• Make the filling: Combine the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until smooth and no lumps remain, 3 to 5 minutes. Run a rubber spatula under the mixture to make sure there are no lumps of cream cheese.
• Pour in the cream and whisk, starting at low speed then increasing to high speed, until the mixture becomes very thick.
• Gently fold in the 1 1/2 cups crushed cookies.
• Spread half of the filling over the crust. Scatter the "secret" layer of crushed cookies on top, then add the remaining filling and smooth the surface with a rubber spatula. Tap the pan against the counter to release any air bubbles in the filling. Refrigerate while you make the ganache.
• Make the ganache: Place the cream in a small saucepan and bring just to a simmer over medium-low heat. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl and let sit undisturbed to melt the chocolate, about 5 minutes. Whisk until smooth, then let sit at room temperature just until cool but still pourable, about 20 minutes. Pour the ganache over the surface of the cheesecake in the pan and spread it with an offset spatula. Tap the pan against the counter to smooth out the ganache.
• Refrigerate for at least 8 hours (preferably 12 hours for best results) and up to 2 days. This recipe has no gelatin so it needs longer to set than a regular cheesecake.
• Run a thin spatula around the cheesecake, then open the springform pan and carefully remove the ring. Place the whipped cream in a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe whipped cream rosettes around the rim of the cheesecake then top each rosette with a mini Oreo. Enjoy!
