Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups Oreo crumbs (about 24 Oreos, crushed)

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake:

  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 3 large eggs

  • ¼ cup sour cream

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder

  • 1 tbsp red food coloring

  • 1 cup crushed Oreos

For the Topping:

  • Whipped cream

  • Whole Oreos

  • Red velvet cake crumbs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix the Oreo crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.

  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the sour cream, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and red food coloring, mixing until evenly combined.

  3. Add Oreos and Bake: Gently fold in the crushed Oreos. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust and smooth the top. Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly wobbly.

  4. Cool and Chill: Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to fully set.

  5. Decorate and Serve: Before serving, top with whipped cream, whole Oreos, and red velvet cake crumbs if desired.

Notes

🎅 Notes & Variations

  • Make It Extra Festive: Garnish with holiday-themed sprinkles or edible glitter for a Christmas touch.

  • For a Lighter Option: Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream and reduce the sugar for a slightly lighter version.

  • Alternative Crusts: Try using a graham cracker crust or chocolate cookie crust as a variation.
