Mint Oreo Cheesecake
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 32 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Green food coloring (optional)
- Whipped cream and additional Oreo cookies for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Place 20 Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add melted butter and pulse until combined.
- Press the Oreo mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the sour cream and heavy cream until fully combined. Add a few drops of green food coloring if desired for a minty color.
- Roughly chop the remaining 4 Oreo cookies and gently fold them into the cheesecake batter.
- Pour the batter over the chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife around the edges to loosen. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set.
- Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and additional Oreo cookies. Enjoy!
