Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Crust

  • 20 gluten-free Oreo cookies (2 packages total)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 32 ounces (4 packages) full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream, full-fat
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 15 gluten-free Oreo cookies, crushed into larger chunks

Chocolate Ganache

  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Whipped Cream

  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 23 gluten-free Oreo cookies, crushed (for decorating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Crush 20 gluten-free Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a ziplock bag with a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until combined.
  2. Form and Bake Crust: Press the buttered crumbs firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan using a measuring cup or glass. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
  3. Prepare Cheesecake Filling: Lower oven temperature to 325°F. In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, approximately 1-2 minutes. Add sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract, beating until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Fold in Oreo Chunks: Slightly crush the remaining 15 gluten-free Oreo cookies into larger chunks. Gently fold these chunks into the cheesecake filling mixture to disperse them evenly.
  5. Assemble and Bake Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the pre-baked crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Place the springform pan on a foil-lined baking sheet to catch drips. Bake at 325°F for 50-60 minutes until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean.
  6. Cool Cheesecake: Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for 15 minutes. After this, remove the cheesecake and cool completely on a wire rack. Once mostly cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight without removing the springform ring.
  7. Make Chocolate Ganache: Heat ½ cup heavy cream in a small saucepan until hot but not boiling. Pour over the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a bowl and let sit for 1 minute. Stir until smooth and glossy.
  8. Decorate with Ganache: Run a knife around the springform ring to loosen the cheesecake and remove the outer ring. Place the cheesecake base on a serving platter. Pour the chocolate ganache onto the center and spread with an offset spatula so it slightly drips over the edges. Refrigerate for about 20 minutes to set.
  9. Prepare Whipped Cream: Using a mixer with a whisk attachment, whip ¾ cup heavy cream with vanilla extract and powdered sugar until soft peaks form that hold their shape.
  10. Final Decoration: Using a piping bag fitted with a large star or round tip, pipe mounds of whipped cream around the edge of the cheesecake. Sprinkle crushed gluten-free Oreo cookie crumbs on top. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream for the best creamy texture.
  • Room temperature eggs incorporate more smoothly into the batter.
  • Don’t overmix the cheesecake batter to avoid cracks.
  • Allow the cheesecake to chill completely for clean slicing.
  • Crushing Oreo cookies into larger chunks for the filling provides texture contrasts.
  • The foil-lined baking sheet catches butter drips and keeps your oven clean.
  • Use gently crushed Oreos as decoration for a beautiful finish.
