  • Total Time: 5 hours (including chilling)
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 24 Oreo cookies (whole, for crust)
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 oz (680 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or sour cream

Garnishes (optional)

  • Chopped Oreo cookies
  • Melted peanut butter drizzle
  • Chopped peanuts
  • Whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs, then mix them with melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even crust. Chill it in the fridge while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add peanut butter, sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully mixed before adding the next. Finally, fold in heavy cream or sour cream for that silky texture.
  3. Assemble and bake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared Oreo crust and smooth the top evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center slightly jiggles.
  4. Cool and chill: Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to develop the perfect firmness and boldness of flavor.
  5. Garnish and serve: Top with crushed Oreos or a drizzle of melted peanut butter before slicing and serving to add extra texture and visual appeal.

Notes

  • Avoid overmixing: Overbeating the batter can incorporate too much air, causing cracks in the cheesecake.
  • Use room temperature ingredients: This ensures a smoother batter and even baking.
  • Wrap the pan: Use foil to cover the springform pan if baking in a water bath to prevent leaks.
  • Don’t open the oven door: Opening it too often can cause temperature fluctuations and cracks.
  • Chill thoroughly: Proper chilling enhances flavor and texture dramatically.
