Ingredients
Scale
- 32 Oreo cookies (367 g), divided
- 20 Oreo cookies (230 g), quartered
- 32 oz (907 g) cream cheese, room temperature
- 5 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 4 tbsps (57 g) butter, melted
- ½ cup (119 g) sour cream, room temperature
- 1 ½ tbsps vanilla extract
- 1 cup (170 g) semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup (119 g) heavy cream
- 1 cup (237 g) heavy cream, cold
- 2 tbsps powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Crust Preparation: Pulverize Oreo cookies in a food processor until finely ground, mixing with melted butter and pressing into a springform pan. Briefly bake to set the foundation.
- Batter Creation: Whip cream cheese until exceptionally smooth, gradually incorporating eggs, sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Fold in quartered Oreo cookies, ensuring even distribution.
- Baking Process: Pour the creamy mixture over the prepared crust, baking in a controlled oven environment until the center shows a slight wobble, indicating perfect creaminess.
- Cooling Technique: Allow the cheesecake to cool gradually inside the oven with the door slightly ajar, then refrigerate for several hours to achieve optimal firmness.
- Ganache and Topping: Prepare a luxurious chocolate ganache by heating cream and pouring over chocolate chips. Cool slightly and drizzle over the chilled cheesecake.
- Final Garnish: Whip heavy cream with sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread half over the ganache, pipe the remaining around the edges, and sprinkle reserved Oreo crumbs for a professional, textured presentation.
Notes
- Prevent Cracking Technique: Bake cheesecake in a water bath to maintain consistent temperature and prevent unsightly surface cracks.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure cream cheese, eggs, and sour cream are at room temperature for smoother, lump-free mixing.
- Gentle Folding Method: Mix ingredients gently to preserve air bubbles, resulting in a lighter, more delicate cheesecake texture.
- Cooling Critical Step: Allow cheesecake to cool gradually to prevent structural collapse and ensure perfect creamy consistency.
