Crust

  • 1/2 cup Melted Butter
Filling
  • 16 ounces Full Fat Cream Cheese Room temperature
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 drop Orange Food Coloring Optional
  • 3 large Eggs Room temperature
  • 3 large Egg Yolks Room temperature
  • 15 cookies Chopped Oreos
Topping
  • 1 cup Homemade Whipped Cream Optional: candy eyes for decoration

Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Stand mixer
  • roasting pan
  • Wire rack

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (162°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing the sides and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, crush Halloween Oreos and mix with melted butter. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 8-10 minutes. Cool completely.
  3. In a stand mixer, beat room temperature cream cheese until creamy. Gradually add sugar, then pour in whipping cream, Greek yogurt, vanilla, and food coloring. Mix until smooth.
  4. Add eggs one at a time while mixing on low speed, ensuring each is mixed in before adding the next.
  5. Fold in chopped Oreos gently with a spatula.
  6. Create a water bath by placing the springform in a larger pan, adding hot water halfway up. Bake for 1-1.5 hours until the center jiggles slightly.
  7. Cool the cheesecake in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour, then transfer to a wire rack for 2 hours. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
  8. Remove from springform pan, top with whipped cream and candy eyes, slice, and serve.
