Description

This decadent Red Velvet Oreo Cheesecake combines the rich flavors of red velvet cake with creamy cheesecake and crunchy Oreo cookie crust. Perfect for special occasions or dessert lovers, it offers a smooth, fluffy texture with a classic Oreo base and a hint of vanilla.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 2 cups Oreo cookies, crushed
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) red velvet cake mix

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix the crushed Oreos with the melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even crust layer.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs and flavorings: Add the eggs one at a time to the cream cheese mixture, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Then stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract to incorporate evenly.
  4. Combine with cake mix: Gently fold in the red velvet cake mix, being careful to mix just until combined, to maintain a light texture.
  5. Bake the cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared Oreo crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the center is slightly jiggly but mostly set.
  6. Cool and chill: Allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight to set completely before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother filling.
  • Do not overmix the red velvet cake mix to keep the cheesecake light and fluffy.
  • Use a springform pan for easy removal of the cheesecake.
  • Chilling overnight yields the best texture and flavor.
  • Optional: garnish with whipped cream or additional crushed Oreos before serving.
