Description
A delicious and easy-to-make Cherry Oreo Cheesecake that combines the rich flavors of cream cheese and cherry pie filling with a crunchy Oreo crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
- 1/4 cup chocolate syrup (optional for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the sour cream until the batter is smooth.
- Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust. Spoon half of the cherry pie filling over the batter, then pour the remaining cheesecake batter on top. Finally, add the rest of the cherry pie filling on top of the cheesecake.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and crack the oven door, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.
- Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Before serving, drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a teaspoon of almond extract to the cheesecake batter.
- You can also substitute the cherry pie filling with other fruit fillings like blueberry or strawberry for a different twist.
