Description
A delicious and creamy Yellow Velvet Oreo Cheesecake that combines the flavors of yellow cake and Oreo cookies, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Oreo cookie crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup yellow cake mix
- 1 cup crushed yellow Oreos (about 10 cookies)
- ½ cup yellow chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the sour cream and heavy cream until fully combined. Gradually add the yellow cake mix and mix until smooth.
- Gently fold in the crushed yellow Oreos and yellow chocolate chips, if using.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- 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 leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to cool gradually.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
- Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan and slice the cheesecake into wedges to serve.
Notes
- For a fun twist, drizzle melted white chocolate over the top of the cheesecake before serving.
- Substitute the yellow Oreos with regular Oreos for a classic flavor or use gluten-free cookies for a gluten-free version.
