Notes

How to Store It

Keep any leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. Do not leave an uncovered cheesecake out at room temperature for longer than 2 hours. 
If you’d like to freeze this cheesecake, place it in the freezer without toppings until it’s frozen solid. Wrap the cheesecake with a layer of plastic wrap and a layer of heavy duty aluminum foil. Keep frozen for 2-3 months.
When ready to serve, allow the cheesecake to thaw out overnight in the refrigerator and then decorate it. 
NOTE: You can freeze already decorated pieces of oreo cheesecake cake, just keep in mind that the texture of your toppings will change a bit.

Recipe Tips

  • Use room temperature ingredients! Doing this will make the smoothest cheesecake batter.
  • Whip the cream cheese well. Under-whipped cream cheese will make for a lumpy batter. The smoother the cream cheese is, the creamier your cheesecake will be. Only whip until smooth and fully incorporated, otherwise the batter will start to form unwanted air bubbles.

  • Grease the pan. Cheesecakes shrink as they cool. So, if your pan isn’t greased well, it will stick to the edge as it shrinks causing the edges to crack.
  • Keep an eye on that cheesecake! You’ll want the edges to look puffy but the center should be jiggly. Overcooking will cause cracking and dry out the cheesecake.
  • Use a waterbath so the cheesecake bakes evenly without cracks. Wrap your springform pan in heavy duty foil, then fold and press the foil tightly to the pan. Place the springform into a deep roasting pan and pour boiling water in until it comes halfway up the tin foil. The water should come up about ½ – 1 inch up the pan. Make sure the water doesn’t come up too high or the water will get inside the foil and make the cheesecake soggy.

  1. I made it for friends just because I received it in an email. They said it was so smooth and off the chain. The only problem that I had is that it came out dark because of I mixed the Oreo in the batter instead of folding it in. Thank you for sharing this great recipe.. Another 9 out of 10 or 10 rating again…
