My husband has always been a big fan of cookies and cream ice cream and cheesecake, and I’ve always been a big fan of making him food that he loves. 😉
It’s only taken me nine years of marriage to come up with the idea of combining his favorite ice cream with his favorite dessert.
I was both pleasantly surprised and quite dismayed to realize that Oreo cheesecake is quite possibly the best dessert out there.
Pleasantly surprised because I’m normally not a fan of cookies and cream unless it’s just a plain ol’ Oreo dunked in a big glass of icy cold milk, and dismayed because I couldn’t stop sneaking into the kitchen to take just one more bite.
This cheesecake is dangerous. That’s okay though, because life is pretty boring without a bit of danger.
How to make Oreo cheesecake:
Crust: Crush 28 Oreo cookies, including the creamy filling, into crumbs. Pour the Oreo crumbs into a 9×13 pan and dump on some melted butter. Stir it around to coat the crumbs in the butter and then press the mixture into the bottom of your pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes.
Filling: Beat together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until it’s nice and creamy. Mix in eggs one at a time. Don’t overmix the batter! Crumble the extra Oreo cookies into the batter and give it a quick stir.
Bake: Pour the filling over the crust and bake for 35 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
Chill: Cool on the counter for an hour and then refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.

I don’t know of a good egg substitute in cheesecake.

This may seem like a silly question but what kind of sugar should you use?
Karly says
Just white granulated sugar. 🙂
Heather says
Great, thanks for replying so quickly!
Karly says
Kwanster,
I believe I used around 5-10 cookies in the filling. I probably ate a few, so closer to 5 than 10. LOL
Hope that helps!
