Ingredients
For the Crust:
32 (367 grams) Oreo cookies, divided
4 tablespoons (57 grams) butter, melted
For the Filling:
32 ounces (907 grams) cream cheese, room temperature
5 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (119 grams) sour cream, room temperature
1 ½ tablespoons vanilla extract
20 (230 grams) Oreo cookies, quartered
For the Ganache:
1 cup (170 grams) semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup (119 grams) heavy cream
Optional For the Whipped Cream:
1 cup (237 grams) heavy cream, cold
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Make the Crust:
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Process 32 Oreos to fine crumbs in a food processor; remove 22 grams for topping. Mix remaining crumbs with melted butter and press into a 9-inch springform pan on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes; keep oven on.
Make the Filling:
2. While the crust bakes, beat cream cheese in a mixer until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then sugar, sour cream, and vanilla. Fold in quartered Oreos. Pour over crust and bake on the baking sheet for about 1 hour until set but slightly wobbly in the center. Turn off oven, open door slightly, and let cheesecake cool for 30 minutes inside. Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 5 hours.
Make the Ganache:
3. Heat cream until simmering and pour over chocolate chips. Wait 3 minutes, then stir until smooth. Cool slightly, then pour over chilled cheesecake.
Optional: Make the Whipped Cream:
4. Beat cream, sugar, and vanilla to stiff peaks. Spread half on ganache, pipe the rest around the edges, and sprinkle with reserved Oreo crumbs.
