Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Gather your baking tools: a 9-inch springform pan, mixing bowls, and a spatula.
  • In a medium bowl, crush the 24 Oreo cookies until you achieve fine crumbs. Pour in the 5 tablespoons of melted butter and mix well until combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your springform pan to form the crust.
  • Place the crust in your preheated oven and bake it for 10 minutes. Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together the 16 oz of softened cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the 3 large eggs to the cream cheese mixture, one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated and smooth.
  • Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 cup of sour cream, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and 1 tablespoon of red food coloring. Mix gently until well blended.
  • Carefully pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled Oreo crust, using a spatula to smooth the top evenly.
  • Bake the cheesecake for about 60 minutes, until the edges are set and the center retains a gentle jiggle.
  • Once baking is complete, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool with the door slightly ajar for about 30 minutes.
  • After cooling, cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Before serving, uncover the cheesecake and top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of Oreo crumbs, and chocolate shavings if desired.

Notes

For the best results, allow the cheesecake to chill before serving, and consider topping with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
