Individually, they are both delicious, and it’s impossible to resist them. But together? It’s downright dangerous! Rich and creamy, with lots of cookies and cream, this Philadelphia Oreo cheesecake satisfies all your sweet cravings in a single bite.
So, redefine your dessert expectations with this unique recipe. Everyone will love it!
Philadelphia Oreo Cheesecake Recipe
There are several Philadelphia Oreo cheesecake recipes, and many of them are no-bake, making them quite quick and easy to recreate. However, this one requires baking, which I actually prefer! Although I love the convenience of no-bake cheesecakes, you simply can’t beat the velvety texture you get from baking.
This recipe yields the most beautiful and tastiest cheesecake with the best texture. It’s seriously unbeatable. And don’t worry; it’s still an easy dessert to make. Moreover, it’s the perfect dessert for parties and gatherings. It travels well, too.
Not to mention that Oreos are loved by both kids and adults. That’s why I’ve provided a larger recipe to fit a 9×13-inch pan. Anything smaller, and you’ll run out quickly!
But if you don’t want as much, you can either halve the recipe and use a single 8-inch springform pan or keep the recipe as is and use two 8-inch pans.
Philadelphia Oreo Cheesecake Ingredients
As mentioned, you only need seven ingredients to make this cheesecake. And two of them are right in the title!
- Oreos – You can’t have an Oreo cheesecake without Oreos! And follow my advice: use real Oreos, not generic brands. You’ll need an 18-ounce package of regular Oreos (not Double Stuf), which is 45 cookies.
- Cream Cheese – You’ll use four blocks of cream cheese for this recipe to make it thick, rich, silky, and succulent. And even though the recipe is called “Philadelphia Oreo cheesecake,” you can use the grocery store brand. Just make sure it’s high in fat!
- Butter – You’ll combine Oreo crumbs with butter to make the crust. I use salted butter because it complements all the sweetness well. But feel free to use regular if that’s all you have.
- Sugar – Four blocks of cream cheese can become quite tangy. So, you’ll use a cup of sugar to ensure the sweet-tart balance stays in check. White granulated sugar works best because its flavor is more neutral than brown sugar.
- Sour Cream – With all that cream cheese, you might wonder why you need sour cream. Simple. Because a cheesecake doesn’t taste like a cheesecake without it. And, again, go for the fat!
- Eggs – Make sure to add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. They should be at room temperature before you start, which makes their incorporation much easier.
- Vanilla – A small dash of vanilla goes a long way in giving this cake an incredible flavor. You won’t need much – just a teaspoon – but it makes a difference. Make sure to use extract or paste, not essence!
That’s it; that’s all you’ll need. Pretty easy, right?
